Saving eMails to a separate (non-Mail) folder.

[Jeffrey Prince]

Using OS 10.4.9 on G-4 PowerBook.
Using Mail  2.1

I have to send some old emails for business purposes.

I can easily identify the emails by doing a search within Mail and I have a whole window of the 35 emails that I want to put into a folder to zip, and email to someone.

How do I get these 35 emails (and attachments) into a folder I can ZIP, then email.
I have looked at every option in the menues and googled for results, but Mail seems to be lacking in this area, unless I have missed something.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff

gosh, I had some emails I wanted to archive and I selected them all and clicked forward.  They all went into the same email.  I think they were chronologically ordered. 

It was cool to me and all the headers were there in case I needed to have times and dates.

Thanks for the reply Christina.
I tried it and all of the emails did go into 1 file which really wasn't what I wanted (as the file was very long, and I don't remember if all the attachments worked ou right) so I deleted the file. Unfortunately, now that I am trying again to figure out another way to do it, or just print out the emails, they are gone.

Do you know any way to recover these emails?

I had backed up my hard drive "completely" I hope prior to this mistake. If so, the emails would still be in the mailbox on the backup.

Do you know how to "extract" these 35 emails from the backed up mailbox?

If I can get them, I'll just print them out.

Thanks,
Jeff
