Hi,

I'm often thinking that it would be neat to be able to bring a thread (in txt) with me when going out (I have an e-reader). I realise I can choose "show printable version" and then save each page of the thread as a txt-version, but that is pretty cumbersome to me.

I first discovered this option because I asked on Mobileread because a thread there was worth bringing along (it was a very, very long thread).

If you're a member there, you can see it under "thread tools", just below the "show printable version".

I wonder if it's possible for you guys to implement the option to "download thread" in a txt-version? It has to be a matter of ticking or unticking the right box.

I figure I can't be the only one who might find this useful, but if I am, let me explain shortly why I personally would like it:

I'm hypersensitive to a lot of chemical stuff, and this includes most paper and printer's ink, so I can't bring a news paper, a paper book or a magazine with me when I go out. To be able to read stuff I have an ebook reader I bring along, but it's not always I feel like reading books or pdfs, but it would be neat to be able to bring some txt-only threads to read when evening comes.
