I saved an email to an external W/P program, because it was displaying as one character per line, and I didn't want to print 48 pages. TB deleted the email from my inbox. How can I recover the saved file back to TB? (Needless to say it wouldn't open in Sylpheen, open Office or Libre Office). And then, how do I reformat the mail which is displaying like t h i s?

The first thing might be to view the message source and determine what the character is that is forcing the new line. My guess is it's either the new line character or a paragraph mark. Many text editors can convert those to spaces. I suggest trying a text editor, such as the free notepad++ or whatever other you prefer. For example, Notepad++ has a simple Edit>blank operations>EOL to space that does it quickly. You may still have to find paragraph breaks, but this might help. Anyway, I've used this process before, so I offer for your possible use. Good luck.
