Like Wim, I have had my Mutt 'record' pointing to my inbox for years --
and really the only disadvantage I have found is that I now get pretty
frustrated when I have to use some other mail system which doesn't let
me do that....
In addition to Wim's point about threading of the full conversation, I
find it very handy to have all the messages I'm currently dealing with
in one mailbox rather than having decide how I want to juggle back and
fourth between two separate ones.
