By default, I think Thunderbird profiles are stored in
~/.mozilla-thunderbird .  Look for the folder with the random name. The
easiest thing is to move the mail you want to archive to a folder, then
in the profile, find that folder (it'll be under Mail/Local Folders,
ending with .sbd), and copy it and the associated file (they'll both
start with the name you chose) to the CD.  Then, when you want to read
it, you'll have to copy it back.
