// point, pigeon. i was thinking in terms of, say, a thread by 50 different authors about printing. if i take the automatic mailbox default, i would be creating 50 different mailboxen. then, finding emails about printing would be a problem. but i now real- ize that i could just create a mailbox called, "printing," and save those 50 emails there.
