How to save emails in .eml format from Office 365 webmail

The way I got it to work is to open a new email, and drag the email in question from the side bar to the email, which makes it an attachment in .eml format, then right clicking on the attachment and selecting "Save As". As suggested here: https://www.codetwo.com/kb/export-email-to-file/#outlook-on-the-web

Here is a link to a page with several suggestions which are not this one. Interestingly this page hints that an email can be directly dragged from the webmail, presumably the sidebar, to the deskstop: https://www.freeviewer.org/blog/save-email-from-office-365-webmail/

How to have multiple Y axis in Excel

It turns out that the maximum number of "multiple" Y axis in an Excel scatter graph is two. The other one is called the "Secondary" axis. The good news is that once you find the controls to turn it on it's as easy to format as the first one. Here is an article on how to find those controls:

Trim characters from the end of all directory names in a folder

On my windows system, I had a folder with only other folders in it, and all of them had three characters on the ends of their names that I wanted to delete. I started up a Cygwin Bash shell to do the job.

I first attempted to use 'find' to create a one line command to rename all of these folders, but it turns out bash for and do were the answer, thusly:

for file in *; do mv "$file" "${file%???}"; done

The syntax for doing the trimming came from this thread (although sadly the pythonesqe method of trimming with colons and a negative end position didn't work in cygwin bash for some reason): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19530429/rename-file-by-removing-last-n-characters
The example of using for/do came from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7450818/rename-all-files-in-directory-from-filename-h-to-filename-half

This MLP fan site mentions him as just "A Finnish musician" although it also interestingly provides an additional alias that I hadn't heard of before: https://mlpfanart.fandom.com/wiki/SimGretina
