To capture an e-mail message, press WindowsKey+F9 in the message while it is open in your e-mail program. This is the same command as for capturing a web page, except in an e-mail message instead.

Some e-mail programs, such as Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows Mail, display e-mail messages the same way a web browser displays web pages, so that they can have links and other elements. If you are using such an e-mail program, WintextCom reads it into the WintextCom Reader as a web page, and the "Webpage:" progress message is displayed as when you capture a page in your browser. This is the case, therefore, if you access your e-mail with Windows built-in Outlook Express, or Windows Mail on versions of Windows later than XP.

WintextCom can capture e-mail messages from many e-mail programs, even if they do not appear like standard web pages. Once the message has been read into the WintextCom Reader, you can begin reading it and press ENTER to save it in the library.

You can Press Escape in the WintextCom Reader to abandon the message and return to it in the e-mail program. This allows you to simply use the WintextCom Reader to read the message. You can use this technique to read a message even if you are not immediately interested in saving specific information, but if it is lengthy and you want to stop reading, you can save it in the library and resume reading from where you left of at a later stage. To reply to the message after reading it in WintextCom, just press Escape to get back to it in your e-mail program, and then press Control+R to reply, or whatever you normally do.
