How to import my games into chessbase?

I got an automatic email from RHP listing all my games, not as an attachment, but as part of the email itself.
I can copy the games of course. But how can I create a pgn file recognizable by chessbase or Fritz. I want to be able to create a separate db of my games.
If anyone can help, I will appreciate much.
Thanks.

Why not import it into a .TXT-file, and then rename it to .PGN, doesn't that work?

I tried that but it did not work. Maybe I'm missing something simple.

This method definitely works - I just tried it with Fritz 11.

You have to do a few things manually to the PGNs that RHP sends you:
Remove the intro text:
"Dear [username], You have recently requested a PGN of your games."
Remove the outro text:
"- The Red Hot Pawn Team"

The first line in your file should start with the first "[" character; and the file should end with the result of the last game included.

Make sure the file extension is ".pgn".

In Fritz/Chessbase, you need to go to Window - Database, then File - Open Database, and change the file type to PGN files.
Then browse to the file and open it. Voila!

Thanks much AudioRapture!!
I think I was not removing characters not recognazible for a pgn file.
