We don't all file everything away into individual folders.  If I did that
for each of my lists I'd end up with far too many of the damned things.
My *archives* are categorised, and I read my archives in threaded mode,
but most of my mail gets read straight from the inbox, in Date header order.

I have most lists go into my inbox*, yet am skilled in the arts of procmail**.

If you save all your money for three years, you'll be able to afford this
new computer.  If, however, you blow all your money on poker, booze and
loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
