I suppose my comment was a bit cavalier, this wouldn't be a good choice for most of your emails, just the very important ones of which I assume there are no more than several each month (or year). Printing as a photograph would be more durable and could easily be pasted into a photo album. If the photo included a child (of the person taking the photograph) standing next to the email then that would further ensure that it doesn't get tossed in the trash, and also provide a rough timestamp for future generations. I don't consider cloud storage to be permanent, secure, or reliable. I used to have 'important' files on zip-drives and floppies if anyone remembers what those are. Many computers no longer have CD or DVD drives. SD cards and thumb drives seem like a lasting technology, for now at least. I still have important documents printed from twenty-five years ago.
