I am awaiting delivery of a laptop with Vista, will upgrade to current TB! on the laptop. I am using an older version of TB! on my PC. I am making an effort to be ready for the unknown when I start moving data and moving the old very large (around 2GB) accumulation of mail to the active mail program is not appealing. But I still would like to be able to easily access that old mail. -- Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

OK - I've answered my own question:
I have a common filter set up that is manually asctivated (ALT-Z) to save
the highlighted email as an EML type file in a directory outside TB.
I then delete ht email from TB.
The filter is:

An addition to Urban's proposal: you can even have your archive within TB! without the need to load the extra 700,000 mails every time TB! starts: create a new account for your archive and password-protect it. Then the mails will only be loaded when you open that account. -- Cheers Peter Bore, n.: A person who talks when you wish him to listen.

Re: Archiving mail
You can archive in at least four ways using TB!. One way is to keep the messages in the active message bases. That's the way a lot of users on this list do it; they have tens of thousands of messages. TB! could be unique in its ability to handle that type f load in a stable way. A variation on that is to move the messages to a separate set of folders, perhaps with a different user name. That way, they would remain in the .TBB format, but not be on your screen or available all the time. There are two other methods which are not tied to TB! One is to export the messages into Unix format. Unix mailboxes are readable by most good programs, and TB! will append messages to the mailboxes so you can keep your archives current. Finally, you can buy Mailbag Assistant from Fookes Software, which can take email from all sorts of mail programs and archive them either in its native format or, with the most recent Mailbag version, in Unix format. Again, the program will append messages to either format.
