I do the same thing. I only archive hot topics or messages of particular
interest. Mine are subfolders of the list. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your
setup when you say the Entourage message was in same folder as OSX archive
folder.

I have a Talk Lists folder with subfolders:
Entourage talk
GoLive talk
Mac-L list
OS X lsit

These subfolders have subfolders for saved messages. Although I do have a
general Mac tips folder that I use rather than having individual subfolders
for lists like Mac-L and OS X.

Yup! Can't say much good about Entourage threading.

If you wanted everything in one folder you could use custom mail views to
sort them by list.
