Um . . . I'm sorry to be so technically challenged.  When I click on the
link, my browser prompts me to save it to my hard drive.  I did this
(took 2-3 minutes for the 5000 message file to save).  Then, I opened it
in Word, and it was garbage.  Then, I went to Windows Explorer to delete
it & try something else, and discovered that it's a "program."  Can you
tell what I'm doing wrong and help me out?  I don't get a "File
Download" dialog box when I click on the link.

Help!!!

Thanks --
