I have extracted some email messages from my Inbox to a fresh mail

Now I'd like to send the file, that is the _exact_ contents
of that mail folder, as an Attachment, with an email
to some recipient.
How do I do, accomplish, that?
Assuming you've accurately described what you want and it will be of
some use to your recipient...
Click the attachment pane and navigate to that "folder." If it has no
subfolders, it will appear in the Windows file list as a simple file
name. So for example, if you named your folder "temp1," look for
C:\Documents and Settings\YourWindowsName\Application Data\Mozilla\Sea
Monkey\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\mail.domain.com\temp1
I did that and it doesn't work!
Note that I asked about sending the _exact_ contents!
The sent Attachment and the received Attachment don't
match. I.e. are not equal.
I suppose that I'll have to encode "temp1", even though
it's all clean ISO-8859-1 text, and try sending the encoded
version :-(
Have you tried compacting folders first? Remember that deleted messages
remain in the folder in a hidden state until you compact, so what you
/think/ is in the folder can be different from what's /really/ there.
Also, how are you viewing the two versions?
I'm assuming you're sane enough that you didn't change the folder
contents between sending and receiving.
Note that: In the very first line of my original posting I wrote:
'to a fresh mail folder'!. SO
everything was packed tight with no slack space!
I compared the source Appendix file 'temp1' and the received Appendix
file by looking at the file contents with my VIM text editor.
(You can do it by saving the received Appendix as 'temp2' and then
comparing 'temp1' and 'temp2' with fc. i.e. fc/n temp1 temp2 )
No!! I did not change the contents of 'temp1' in between sending it
and receiving it.
do you know this utility to compare and view the differences between two
text files ?

I would suggest to make a copy of the mbox file (SM not active) first
and to work on this copy.
Sending a file (whatever it is) as a message attachment usually works
you did not tell how the file would be used after it was sent..
use it as a mbox file in seamonkey ?
I made a try of what I have said
- SM closed
- take a copy of a mbox file ( with total commander utility )
- (launch SM) send a message with this copy as attachment
- receive the message and save the attachment as copy2
- compare copy1 and copy2 --> same (use of 3 different utils, TC,
examdiff, winmerge
