I recently found out how to do something like this.  I added the following
line to my .emacs file so I could store all my outgoing mail in the file
called /home/fredb/.record 

(setq mail-archive-file-name "/home/fredb/.record")

When I want to view my old letters, I just hit "i" in RMAIL mode to let me
run RMAIL on my .record file.  I hope this helps.
