You could try doing what I do and set up multiple email client 'mailboxes' on your client machine, and filters which sort mail into them whenever you 'check mail'. I use this sort of setup with Eudora at home, where I have a separate 'mailbox' for each discussion list that I am on. When I check mail, all of my sqlite messages appear together in one window and separate from the others, so it is easy to follow conversations without wading through other things. Or if I lack time, I can ignore that mailbox for awhile and come back later. Eudora uses one file on the disk for each 'mailbox', so each message doesn't produce another file. Eudora's mailbox files are also the same format as unix incoming mail spool files (which MTAs like Pine read directly), which is plain text with message delimiters. Eudora adds an index in a separate file per mailbox to speed things up (which on a Mac is the 'resource fork' for the original file). Note that with lists that munge the reply-to header, I tell the filter to sort based on that value, otherwise I say 'filter on any recipient that equals x'. So this works quite well. Try it. -- Darren Duncan
