Hi Charles, If you are using Firefox then Alt+F will bring up the File menu, even if it isn't normally visible. You can then choose "Save Page As..." This usually has the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+S, but this may be overridden by email web application shortcuts. Saving the page will result in a .html file and a directory, with names such as: Name of Some Page.html (file) Name of Some Page_files (directory) Opening the file ending in .html causes the page to be reconstructed locally in the browser from the resources saved in the corresponding directory, which reflects your view at the time of saving. You then have a WYSIWYG copy, though "WYSIWYG" in this context refers to some extent to the way your webmail provider formats things, as well as features intrinsic to the email. Printing or saving this to a PDF may be useful. There was a move to make email content dynamic a few years ago and I'm not sure what happened with that, in terms of adoption, so a saved page may not necessarily always reproduce the precise original content after some time. Some providers shunned the idea. By way of background, please see for example: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/email-is-your-electronic-memory/ https://developers.google.com/gmail/ampemail https://amp.dev/about/email Please let me know if any queries.
