I guess you could do that too - except when you have a gig worth of mail. :-)
What I ended up doing was create an imap account that everyone can get too because it is on a "home" account. Home accounts can be seen from anywhere, including the cd burning server - it happens that not everyone has a cd burner on their machines. Organize mail by folders with proper names. Then, move all the mail to that imap account, and burn that mail onto cd. Label the cd appropriately. When a message is needed, open the cd with the message, open home account, move folder(s) as needed from cd to home, reset imap folders on imap account via mail client, and 'show' the folder. Voila! there's the message(s) including attachments. It seemed to work for me. Now, I'm on my way to write a procedure for everyone so I save myself some time - I hope. I know that there might be a more efficient method for doing this. For now, I'll stick with it. Thanks to all who gave your opinion on this matter.
