I was going to suggest something similar. I use pine to read mail,
procmail to sort mail, and nn to read news. I could easily set things
up so all tomcat-user mail is sorted into a separate folder. Then I
could use pine to read that folder, if I wanted to read it more as
mail (I could even set it up so pine considers it an "incoming
folder", so it handles it as new mail). Or I could use nn to read it,
if I wanted to read it more as news. The only thing missing is
auto-expiration of messages, which I could easily set something up
for. (I guess responding to messages is missing when reading it as
news as well.)
Of course, this is all on a UNIX system, so may not be applicable for
some of you :-).
