I have a lot of stuff in my "writing" directory which I back up
periodically, and I want to include just a subset of my mail files which
are relevant to it. I wrote a little bash script (attached) which copies
that portion of the mail over into the "writing" directory. This is
using the Thunderbird mail client on a Gnome desktop, Fedora 7 (what can
I say, I'm lazy and just haven't upgraded Fedora!). Maybe it will help you.

Hi!
Mandrake 10.1 related.
After various attempts I have figured out how to back up files in
the Home director and some other system files.
I have not figured out how the mail file system is set up and how it
relates to the rest of the file system. There are surly good reasons why
Internet, mail and related processes utilizing bracketed messages should
be totally isolated from the system. That said how does one get to
archive mail and messages written with the email editor?
