The concept is that you receive your email as usual but have both predefined and user-defined views. The email is visible within each view for which the email matches the view criteria, and deleting one instance of the email deletes all instances.
So, if you received a signed email from this mailing list from Fred Bloggs, you could see it in folders:
Mailing lists: newbie.linux-mandrake.com (automatically derived)
Attachments: Signatures (automatically derived)
Received: From Fred (user-defined)
and any other folders whose view criteria it matched.
This, in effect storing each email as a record in a database with the folders as query-views on that database, is a very powerful technique once you get used to it (it is hard to get to grips with at first because the model is so different from the usual filter-the-email-into-one-folder) and I have a funny feeling it will catch on and be widely stolen :)
