Glad to hear you "found" them and thanks for the feedback since we'd always
be wondering. Good luck.

No sea monkey BUT it must have bittenmeand infected my mind. I went
back to the folder and it is full of .eml files. I have no idea how I
got confused but I am really sorry.

Honestly, I have no idea why you cannot see the files within the folder.
There are programs that allow paranoid users to Hide folders such as:

know
what your problem may be. Sorry.

Do you perhaps have "Sea Monkey" for Mail installed?

Thanks Jim.
First I should say that I have set my folder preferences to be able to
see hidden files without regard to their extension.
second, I know the files got into the folder since I get the message
"This folder already cintains a file named .........Would you like to
replace the existing file xxxx kb modified on dd/mm/yyyy time with
this one? xxxx kb modified on dd/mm/yyyy time".
I created the folder in Windows explorer and then dragged it to the
desktop.
