Anyway, further wrinkles! Someone suggest I saved the message as a file
("exported" it). The only way I could see - I couldn't see a "save" or
"export" option - was to "copy" it (that option _is_ there), and then
"paste" it in explorer.

File menu, then Save As. You have several format options there.

I see that you've stopped caring, though. :-)


Yes, File | Save As is more or less a "meme" in Windows softwares. But
in Office 365, clicking on the top left menu heading - I think it _is_
"File" - completely replaces the normal screen, taking you into a sort
of vaguely control-panel-like thing where you can change all sorts of
things. (Or does in Windows 10, anyway.) I was at a loss what had
happened the first few times I did it; there's a left-pointing arrow in
a circle near the top left, that (in Outlook, anyway - I've not really
played with the other bits of Office 365) takes you back to the normal
Outlook (or most other email software) three-pane screen (list of
folders, list of emails, preview pane).
