Since you are now open to alternate solutions, this problem could
provide a good occasion for you to learn about SmartBat.
Instead of the plan you've described above, you could copy the link
from the message or article and paste it into SmartBat. Then when you
are ready to review the articles, just reopen SmartBat (F6) and click
on the link. That avoids the potential memory drain on your system and
gives you the ability to walk through the accumulated links when you
are ready.
I've set a system wide hot key (Ctrl-Shift-F12) that opens SmartBat,
no matter whether I am working in The Bat! at the time or not.
Another potential benefit of using SmartBat is that you can set up
another "Pad" (as they are called, really just a text file) for clips
from the articles you are reviewing, should you wish to use quotes
from those articles in your work.
In any event, I hope you find a solution that works for you.
