It was really tiring for me when I thought to Save all My G mail chats In my Hard disk.Simply Copy pasting them In MS-Word was not an option.I also tried Microsoft -one Note but That too was really Time consuming.My emails Are saved in MS-Outlook But the G mail Chats with My friends Aren’t.
Printer Friendly :The Important Thing is that The document saved is well formatted and free from Email Signatures and Quoted Text.You can edit Your Document After it opens in Google Docs,Add Images Links and Do whatever You wish.

I followed these instructions, but the document only showed the first email, not all the emails on the page, and it didn’t show other information (eg. sender details etc). Is there a way of picking all these up?
@Simon : No You cannot select Multiple emails at once and back them up Simultaneously.
Thanks for letting me know, Amit — much appreciated.
