How do I get an MP3 file from the all the separate parts in a newsgroup using Outlook Express?
You select multiple files in Outlook Express the same way you select multiple files anywhere else in Windows:
* Click on one file to start.
* Either hold down the Control key and click on additional files (if you select one you don’t want by accident, you can remove it from your selection by clicking on it again, still holding down the Control key).
* Alternatively hold down the Shift key and click on another file – all the files between the first file you clicked and the second one will be selected. This works well for combining MP3 parts. First sort the headers by name… this should make the parts that belong to a single song all come together in order – then just click on the first part, hold down the Shift key, and click on the last part… and they should all be selected.
Then right click anywhere on the selection, and pick «Combine and decode» from the menu that pops up.
How to I get an MP3 that has been posted in multiple parts, using Outlook Express?
* Sort the messages in the group by name, so all the parts of a song come together.
* Select all of the parts of the song (click on them one by one whilst holding down the Ctrl key, or click on the first one then hold down the shift key and click on the last one, or whatever…)
* Right click anywhere on the selected parts, and from the menu that pops up chose «Combine and decode»
