   >File Menu   
   >From the File Menu you can Import & Export messages, create folders where   
   >you can archive old but interesting messages, save attachments, and even   
   >change the location on your computer where messages are stored.   
   >Export Selected Articles   
   > Allows you to save selected messages as a text file, for instance so   
   > that they can be loaded into other programs.   
   > The text file is formatted according to RFC-822. It therefore contains   
   > the first message's header lines; a blank line; the first message's body   
   > lines; a dot on a line on its own; the second message's header lines, etc.   
   >Import Articles   
   > Import articles from a text file. XanaNews expects the text file to be in   
   > RFC-822 format.   
   >Export Compressed Messages   
   > When you select this, XanaNews displays a separate form, which allows you   
   > to select which groups you want to export, and the file you want to export   
   > them to.   
   > The form contains an additional option that allows you to save XanaNews'   
   > settings along with the messages. This makes it easy to move your message   
   > base and settings from one computer to another in a single file.   
   > XanaNews exports compressed messages in the proprietary '.xns' format.   
   >Import Compressed Messages   
   > Load messages that were exported into an 'XNS' file. If the 'XNS' file   
   > contains XanaNews settings, the settings are exported too.   
   >Save Article as HTML   
   > Convert an article to HTML format and save it - so that it can be   
   > incorporated into a web page or Blog.   
   > Additionally, the message pane right-click Popup Menu contains an option   
   > to save an article to the clipboard in HTML format.   
   >New Archived Message Folder   
   >Rename Archived Message Folder   
   >Delete Archived Message Folder   
   >Empty Archived Message Folder   
   >Re-Index Archived Message Folder   
   > The functions allow you to add, rename, delete, empty and re-index   
   > Archived Message Folders   
   > Note that re-indexing archived message folders is not normally required.   
   > It may be used if the archived folder becomes corrupted.   
   >Find Folder Message in Message Base   
   > Select this option when an archives message is selected. XanaNews will   
   > attempt to find the same message in its message base, so you can see it   
   > in its threaded view.   
   >Reload Selected Messages from Folder   
   > Copies the selected messages in an archived messages folder to the   
   > original position in the message base.

   > positions in the message base.

   >Print Message   
   > Print the selected message(s)   
   >Move Messagebase

   > Typically this is "c:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings   
   > \Application Data\Woozle\XanaNews", and is the best place for it. It   
   > allows several people to use your computer - each with separate XanaNews   
   > settings and messages.
