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
