Andre,

Thomas' answer did seem to indicate that I could do that, I will try
and get all of the old files into a single folder. Deleted Items would
do. Once there I believe I can select them and export them to an mbox
file. Then I could empty the deleted items and that would achieve half
of what I am after. 

The key thing I want to do is have the emails in a file on my system
that I can open to read the old emails, preferably without having to 
restore them back into the live folders first.

The weird stuff is the CSS rules that format the fonts used in my
signature line when in HTML format, I am not sure why that appeared in
my original question as I removed the signature before posting as well
as converting to plain text.  The CSS stuff is in the head of the HTML
document that makes up my signature?
