I found a trick for counting using email and Thunderbird. First off you
will need to put all your FFL emails in one folder which probably most
folks due. Then select "Mark Folder Read" which I do regularly anyway
because there are just a lot of topics I'm not interested in. Then you
order messages by Sender and select the range for the week. Right click
on those highlighted messages and select "Mark as Read" and the messages
will be marked "Unread" and then total listed in the lower right hand
corner of the the Thunderbird window. That's sort of a lot of work and
Thunderbird should really anytime you select a group of messages also
list the number selected. I'll put in a request for that feature which
I can tell you as a programmer should not be hard to add.
