A simple way to keep mail boxes to a manageable size is to split them by year. In extreme cases, by month. From my .procmailrc : YYYYMM=`date +%Y-%m` :0 * ^X-Mailing-List:[ ]*linux-kernel@vger\.kernel\.org$ linux-kernel-$YYYYMM If you use Kmail, you probably don't use Procmail but it takes more than mere logic to stop me from giving unsolicited advice. -- André Majorel <http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Thousands of verified email addresses available from bugs.debian.org.
