File merging to deal with e-mails



Other issue:
 
When I have so many e-mails (currently over 1500 accumulated mostly from NOTABENE LIST simply I cannot discard away), I would like to save time in managing them by merging them into one file.   Then I can open up in NB or other word processor and erasing unneeded portion of the text but keeping useful bits of ideas and information.  (Actually I would do this editing on the printouts first and scan to mark those text portion to retain and then go back to the file on the word processor.  The print-out should have no page breaks bewteen the component e-mails.)
 
I do remember file concoction feature in DOS and (possibly in XyWrite DOS).    Can any one kindly help me about how to do this under Windows OS or in Window-based Word Processors?    
 
Note:  Word has Master Document feature where you can merge one file after another into one.  However this is impossible taking time and effort to work on a mountain of e-mails I have to deal with.   The problem is to find a way of doing the merging a batch of files in one scoop.  Also I would need a macro to remove section and page breaks.
 
Thanks,
 
Wish Happy New Year to All NBers.

 P.S.  Pardon my coat tailing.  I forget how to send e-mail to NOTABENE list.
