You don't say what your system configuration is, so I'll make my 
suggestions general.

Your 'folder' is a file located in a mail directory.  This file can be 
saved directly to floppy using a transfer method appropriate to your 
configuration.  For example, if you are running pine on a Unix 
workstation by dialing in with a PC, just download the file (with kermit, 
or zmodem, for example) with the floppy as the designated path.  If you 
don't have a transfer program on the Unix host, cat the  file with a log 
file open on your PC and capture the data to the log file.

Hope this gives you some ideas.  If you need more help, you will have to 
send more information about your setup.
