Google allows you to save email message directly in google docs and then you can edit them like any other word document. You can easily store the message as a word document or as a PDF file without losing the source formatting.
Many of times, we want some email messages to be stored on removable media like USB Hard disks or Pen drive for the offline accessibility. At such times, you can download the converted email message from google docs to your PC or removable storage devices!
