Hi,
I have no issues using gmail now. since I am only either doing it from shellworld, or in the case of my office, dreamhost, my direction is fine laughs. Was late last night when I wrote, will flesh out this one time use of alpine as Larry discusses. Personally i do not care for alpine, but my use is based on dreamhost, who may not fully understand the program themselves, smiles. Hopefully the person scamming this list looking for a date will not add to the amusement...I do not do girls.

The challenge is, since this is court evidence, I must gather

Ah, that changes the game.  I'd go the route that Hart mentioned of
connecting to Gmail via IMAP and slurping your mail locally which
gives you the actual message body including all the headers.  From
both a forensic perspective and a "gather them up to submit for
evidence" perspective, having the actual messages (rather than a
print-out) is the ideal.

If you want bidirectionality (continuing to use Gmail while also
having things local and keeping them in sync), I recommend something
like "offlineimap" or "mbsync" to pull/sync the mail locally. Once
it's local you can use a number of tools to manipulate the mail,
whether Alpine or Mutt to read it interactively, or "notmuch" to
index it for fast searches.  And since they're just text-files, they
can be copied, linked, zipped up, and sent to whomever you need.
