Personally, I do not like filtering my mail into
separate spools as it
comes in, because, since I'm a busy person, I will never go and dig
through them.
That's the reason why I have 18,131 unread messages in my classiccmp
folder* :-)
* what did we call things before they were folders? I always think of it
as a [MS] Windows term, but I can't think what the convention for "a
group of related stuff" was (aside from directories for files on disk,
of course) FWIW I don't like tagging; any sane email client
can filter by other
means anyway, and it just takes up space in the subject line.
Exactly. This is even more of a concern for those who still use an 80
column display. After all, this /is/ classiccmp, where even with all the
web-forums out there, we are still using email ;)
