HTC Incredible :: How To Save Message

I'm using POP3 mail. It works fine - but how the heck do I save a message? If I do as the manual says and hold the message from the all messages screen and get the option, there is no lock or save option. This will be really annoying if I can't save certain emails or sms texts.

SMS - do I honestly need the tracked conversations? Is there a way to turn that off? On my BB, it tracked, but I could change it to not track, or only track 1 message before, etc. My husband doesn't need to see a vent about him that shows up 10 messages down between me and a girlfriend.

WTH size do I make picture to use it as my wallpaper? I read the 980x800 or whatever it was, but all that does is give me 1 eye and nose on each kid. I want to see it normal on the screen. I don't care if it doesn't 'move' on the other home screens. Call me old-fashioned.

Love the 'main' clock with it's animated weather - but does it have to be so darn BIG? Can it be re-sized?
