Linda,

What you ask can be done, BUT the messages will not be in a plain text
readable format. You would need to re-import them into OE (or Outlook) in
order to view the contents.  If you still want to go ahead with this.....

You can export a single folder of messages instead of the entire file.

Create a folder called "monthly" (or something) then drag all the messages
into that folder.  Once you have all the messages in the folder, click
FILE - EXPORT - MESSAGES - OK - OK.  Now change the option to SELECTED
FOLDERS and click to select the folder.  Keep following the directions and
make sure that you select OE as the exported format.

Then you can save the message file as a zip but it still will not be
readable by any program except OE or Outlook.
