I'd also be interested in the following. If nobody has an answer, the way we
do it here is save a text file (containing subject, address(es) etc) then
the FB program calls an Applescript which puts it into Outlook Express. The
Applescript tends to run out of memory with long e-mails (over a few hundred
K) but that isn't a common problem. In the absence of a more direct method,
I can probably find the uncompiled script.
