I can copy/move these Email files quite readily; but, how to read them with else?
As a trivial start: mail -f <path-to-email-file> will read a mail file like this just fine.
Of course, even if it is that simple, I am still left with the decision regarding what program[s] is/are the best long term solution for managing a large mass of Emails. What do you think?
See other answer(s) for this. I use Mozilla (0.9.9) for all of my email. I move files like this (20 or 30MB, not 2GB yet) around and edit them with a test editor all the time. If this is one big 2GB file I might use Netscape on the NT box to organize them into folders first
