  So there is no way to do this _without_ the Dispatch Mail feature? I
  have used Dispatch Mail before, and it is a clunky interface. Here's
  a scenario that might help illustrate my interest in a feature like
  this:

  Let's say that today I get 300 messages total throughout the day
  from various mailing lists, etc. As is the case with far too many
  mailing lists, the signal to noise ratio is pretty lousy, but I
  remain subscribed to many of them for the real gems that come
  through fairly regularly.

  So I want to pop the messages, and thread them in TB, and then
  delete the lame threads while keeping the good ones. So I may see
  80-100 threads and only want to keep 15-20 of them (or about 300
  emails, and want to keep 45-70 of them).

  Viewing the mail in TB and then opening the Dispatch Mail window is
  not especially efficient IMO. I was just wondering if TB had a
  "better way" of doing it than that.  :)

  Thanks, all, for the quick responses.
