Your reply and Diane's are very interesting. These are ways of using the email client that never crossed my mind. It's good to have a community!
Mr. Tea's approach could be extended to address what I have felt is a long-standing problem with email clients. Filing emails in mailboxes is a drag <grin> because you can only have an email in one box (without a significant fiddle). But we don't file for its own sake; the point is to aid retrieval by speeding up browsing and searching. With our superfast (pre-indexed) searches via Spotlight, we can dispense with filing and replace most browsing with searching, because we don't need to narrow the search by mailbox. Google Mail points the way for this approach. (Of course, YMMV.) But often emails don't have the correct search terms in their text. What I'd like to do is "tag" the emails (as one does at del.icio.us for bookmarks), then search on text _and_ tags. It never occurred to me until reading your note that I could just edit the text of the incomings to include tag terms! Wah-la!
