Well, with the holp of more than a few of the people here I set it up so
that when I delete mail from mailing lists they get sent to
~Mail/Trash/list-name meaning that I can very quickly get rid of
uninteresting threads and then read the good ones whilst still keeping
an archive.

Like that idea, hope *someone* knows :)
