Format Preservation in PM Downloads

Howdy. I am trying to solve a problem I'm having with downloaded private messages (PMs). I've tried all three formats ~ CSV, TXT, and XML. Is there something I'm missing here? My downloaded PMs do NOT retain original formatting, like quotation boxes, colors, fonts, etc.

Is there some way to preserve the formatting? I'm guessing that it's vB Code. (Not a techie here, though, so I don't know very much about coding.)

Thanks for your help!

Nope. You get plain text with no markups only. Sorry.

Raven..you may however use colorful Sharpies to color and alter the font of your pm's, add quotation boxes, etc ON SCREEN so that they will appeal to you! LOL Tracy
