I've found elm to be very handy for filing away news articles that
I want to save.  I use RN, so from the article reading level, I
type

|rmail todd&

This will mail the message to me with the header attatched, so ELM
thinks that the message was actually mailed to me.  So, in ELM, I
see who wrote the article, when it was written, and the subject.
After each RN session, I boot ELM and file each message in an
appropriate subject mailbox.  This is much better than simply saving
each message from RN and having it appended to a huge file.  It is
much easier to retrieve articles this way.

Hope you can use this trick.  I'm not sure how restricted RMAIL will
be on your particular machine.
