Ahhh, the beautiful lotus flower. I think that's an excellent representation of our dearly departed friend. While Briar is no longer contributing to our discussions, her spirit has been captured perfectly and archived in our forums. In a way she is still with us, if you want to search her out.
I have a collection of e-mails as well. Mine are sorted, somewhat, when they arrive. All the Brainformation stuff goes to one place so that picking out mail from a specific sender is just a matter of sorting out the contents of a single folder. I also have a program that will store (archive) the contents of my e-mail folders off line. Once I have that as a backup, I can safely remove it from my e-mail client. If I remember correctly, G-mail gives you a way to download all your mail so that you can sort it and save it on your computer instead of their server.
I don't have everything Icey sent me, but I have quite a bit.
