As an aside, this is precisely why I like Gnus so much. By default, read messages are hidden -- so it makes it easy to get down to "zero" without having to refile, archive, or delete anything. Automatic archiving/expiry takes care of the problem of overly large mailboxes. - Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
