Subject: How to I save the whole folder?

Hi.  Quick question.

November just arrived and now I have another folder in Pine.  It's the 
mail that I sent in October.  Is there any way to export that whole 
folder (rather than saving each file individually)?  I would like to put 
it all onto a disk (or two), rather than leaving it all at Netcom.

Thanks!

Pine stores folders as text files, so you can just download the whole file. 
Look in your mail (or Mail) directory...

If you set enable-aggragate-command-set, in Setup Config, you get some 
more commands. ;-select, A-apply and one more.  You can then ;-select 
all the messages you want to save to a file and A-apply E-export all the 
selected messages to a file.

You lose all the headers this way, which can be good for a mailing list 
you just want to read.  If you need the headers, just download the folder 
file.

Comes here Mr/Mz. Jon Bell with this opinion in the "comp.mail.pine" group in this article on Sat, 5 Nov 1994 16:48:48 GMT:

Umm...make that 'mail' (lowercase m), as Mail dir. is created by Elm.
Atleast that's how it is here, so as DLM said it is either Mail or mail dir.
depends on how the setup is at your site.

Each mail folder in pine is simply an ordinary text file in your "Mail" 
subdirectory, containing all the saved messages one after the other. So,
at your UNIX prompt, "cd Mail", then "ls" to see what you have there.  You
should see a file named something like "sent-mail-oct-1994".  Download it 
to your PC like any other text file, then delete it with "rm."
