This is a very common scenario in corporate use, many people save important
email messages (ie a proposal from a subcontractor that you used in your
own offer, etc.)  for future reference on a certain project folder, rather
than keeping them in an archive.

So yes, it would be very good if Evo could do it. I think kmail can do it
as well as Outlook and Thunderbird.

PS. This may be related to my inability to open emails attached to other
emails in a separate window.
