Joe in Hazleton, Pennsylvania asked: “I’d like to copy just part of an e-mail into a folder. How can I do that. And the other question is… Is it possible to totally delete yourself from the Internet as if you’ve never been there, and go back to an analog world? I don’t think you can. It’s just a curiosity question. Should promote some interesting conversation.”
Joe, when it comes to storing just part of the email, the only real option you have is to paste the part you want into a different document and save that document in the folder. Theres no out of the box option to save a part of an email.
macOS does allow you to drag a partial clipping to a folder, which is useful when you want to save something partial to copy and paste later, but it wouldnt be a great choice for long term storage either.
When it comes to being off the internet, no realistically you cant remove yourself from the internet. Not only is it unavoidable in day to day life these days, but you will also be added to the internet by others, whether it be by people on social media, or by the governments voter registration records, or real estate records, or by private companies that will try to sell your profile to others for sales purposes, or in a thousand other ways.
Theres not a lot you can do in the modern world to get away from it, you can just minimize how much it intrudes into your life.
