If you're ever using gmail's webmail access, you might find it useful to
add a filter that would add a "blfs" (just an example) label to messages
that have "gstorage" (again, an example). Should make it easier to access
then afterwards.

This would do the same thing in only one command:

---
cat file file file | tar xzvf -
