Use text and save as a parsimonious text file. Such files should be quite readable.

For those who wish to manually save their private messages, try clicking this link:

With luck, that will take you to a list of received private messages. If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see a link that says

Download all Private Messages as:
XML | CSV | Text

Then choose your poison. XML is webpage readable. CSV opens them in a spreadsheet. Txt is just text.

You'll need to perform a similar action for sent messages...

Just a little personal insurance against data loss...
