OK It's time I put my hands on it!!!
Does it work???
At least it will work on my next post since I'm changin gonfiguration
while I'm responding.

Exactly what I do. I'm a little bit lazy, but I'm sure that If I build up a
set of filtering rules on the subjects this will help me to read more
efficently my emails.
I use Pegasus and it's able to filter also subjects and text
contained in the body...
But I think that this could be helpful only if I find a very good set of
filtering rules.

Well I think we use the trash much more than what we say :-)

I was kidding. But as I wrote we can reach a compromise, a clever
use of filtering rules could help to kill many emails before you see
them (just help not resolve the problem).

I read some years ago, on Scientific america, that OCD was a
methabolic desease. So I was curious... ;-)

Do you know Pinocchio by Collodi? Do you remember the cat an
