The messages in the backuop folder look like this one: msg.tVmI
How can I make the part after the msg. to - say - be composed of year,
month, and date?

      Or name the folder (not directory) by date:

D=`date '+%m%d'`
:0 c
/var/spool/backup/${D}

Thank you, Udi. I used a variation of your suggestion, namely
/var/spool/backup/msg.${D}

Because then I can still use the second part of the original recipe which
keeps only the last 36 messages stored.

But the thing with the the variable did it!!
