There are several different ways that this could be done:
(1) BL2 has wget.  If your saved-message folder has a URL, 
'   you can fetch it with wget.
(2) You might be able to use links to download the folder.

(3) BL1 has ftp.  In this case, BL1 might be more useful to

(4) If you have installed BL2 to HD, you can add ftp from
'   Slackware 7.1.  It's in the tcpip1 (a6) package.

Please report back on how things go (both positive and
negative).  It could be useful for somebody else.
