Well, I must be *really* lazy then. I use a combination of archive
folders for incoming list-mail via procmail filtering, and then use the
compressed folders patch to save off important info from mails into
compressed folders for the list. So I can search through them later...
I'm trying to remember where I got the compressed folders patch from
though.... Ah, seemed to have deleted the reference! Well, maybe
someone else on the list will remember..
