Downloading and Using PGNs of game

Hi: I tried to get a pgn of a game in progress emailed to me so that I could load it onto my chess program (Shredder) and make comments along the way. I got an email but it's basically just the moves and the game data, no .pgn file as such. How can I take that data and turn it into a pgn file that my program can upload and display.

Copy and paste the PGN part of the email into a text editor (like notepad) and just save the file with a .pgn extension (ie: save it as "chessgame.pgn"😉
