Hi all,

When exporting Private Messages, we have the option for .txt, .csv, or .xml.

What do you all do w/ your .xml exports? Is there a nifty utility or something that allows vB-like viewing/functionality of .xml PM exports? (I tried searching, came up empty handed.)

Thanks!

Good question! I've always just downloaded them as txt but they sure aren't easy to read that way.

It's just there for people that like to keep a copy of their PMs.

Oh, I totally get that. And enjoy the feature as well! I was moreso curious how people view the .xml exports? Or what techniques they use to view them. I know you can open them up in a browser and have plus/minus expansions -- which is OK... But I figured someone out there has a nifty technique to easily navigate or view the .xml files? Of course -- maybe not too.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
