I'm a packrat. I keep everything. I just make historical archive sub-mailboxes and transfer old mail to them every time the main mailbox gets beyond a few thousand messages. For lists as active as openSUSE, that's monthly. For others, it need only be annually, and others in between, of course. My "inbox" is _only_ used for uncategorized (and thus unimportant and transient) mail and for the rare bit of spam that doesn't get flagged by my ISP's SpamAssassin (they have more false positives than false negatives, it seems). Everything else has its own mailbox. I have a personal hierarchy and a professional hierarchy and one for my business. > Thanks. > > -afan Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
