Reverse Email Order
Hi,
A few years back a friend and I exchanged a lengthy series of email over a 6 month period (both using MS Outlook as our email clients). We still have the email chain but would like to reverse the order of the email.
For example, if I was to print the email chain, currently the first email on page 1 would in fact be the last email sent. I want the first email sent to appear on page 1, so essentially the email chain is printed /displayed on screen chronologically and can be read in a book / story-like format.
Is this possible? If so how can I do this? Thanks.
Happy new year!

As per my information, this is not possible. The best idea i can suggest is to print it and then swap the printed papers from top to bottom.
Without fiddling around too much, I am pretty sure you could do this in Excel, using an import and either a sort or a transpose paste.
You would need to copy/print to a text file first.

save your email as *.htm (or txt if you like
open this file with word
in word - tools - options - advanced (word 2003) or word options - advanced (2007)
choose 'print pages in reverse order'
print to file or a printer (whatever you prefer)

Hi, bowemc.
I can show you how to do this with a bit of simple scripting if that's an option.
