And Grab, the screen capture utility bundled with OSX, will only capture the visible window area (rather than the entire content of a page, even if it extends beyond the bottom of a window). So in my case, on a MacBook Pro with FireFox 2 and a 1440&#215;900 LCD this worked out to three captures per 100 email page. This came to a total of 58 (give or take a few screw ups) screen grabs for approximately 2000 sent emails.<br \/>\nOf note, I resized FireFox to be as narrow as possible in displaying the sent folder (before horizontal scroll bars appeared). While this doesn&#8217;t extend the list vertically, it allows the final grabs to fit within the 540px width constraint of the jeffwerner.ca layout. I then captured the sent mail folder at this narrow width.<br \/>\nEach grab was saved as a TIFF and labelled with the start and end date of the emails it depicts. I then created a new, maximum height document in Fireworks 8, which turns out to be 10,000px. In total I imported the 58 screen grabs into five new Fireworks documents, making sure each grab lined up with the one below and beneath it. Next, create a giant slice around each imageable area in each document (note that the frustratingly maximum numerical entry allowed in Fireworks is 6,000px in any dimension, so it required a lot of manual drag-and-scroll to create the slices accurately).<br \/>\nFinally, export each slice as an 8-bit PNG and insert them in this blog post. And there&#8217;s my Monday evening.<br \/>\nOh also of note, well, to me: I always star any email that requires follow up. I seem to have a bit of a backlog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These sent emails cover the period since I left Canada on April 23, 2007, and leaving Bali on January 26, 2008, i.e. nine months of sent mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8,15,74],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1220,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408\/revisions\/1220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffwerner.ca\/testa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
