I've never heard of a "auto save" from a format.
Export your e-mails to a floppy or a cd before formatting or you will lose all of them. It's in the file menu of Outlook Express |

OE emails have a .dbx file extension. Burn them to CD and then copy they to your new system. Note you wil be overwriting any new mail in new system with this method.
You can find where they are stored by clicking Tools in OE, selecting Options, selecting Maintenance tab and clicking Store Folder. Chas
