Well, if it were an isolated case, that would sound silly, eh? ;-)
But since I also subscribe to several mailing lists that I have folders
for, if I started breaking those out, I'd be in folder hell. Not to

would be several folders! Arrrrgh! Whereas a system where I can
separate and differentiate within the folder (without changing Priority
or other essential information) would be much easier to deal with.
