A= re there any specific tools for doing this ? I have used pine for many years but the business of categorizing sensibly i= nto folders the hundreds of mails which=20 come each week is out of hand. Googlemail is offering a single file of emai= ls=2C with (multiple) `tabs' replacing the functionality of folders. This seems like a great step forward=2C but I= don't like GUIs=2C and I'm not happy that on=20 googlemail it seems not to be possible to download an email to disk with he= ader information. (And I don't want all my emails permanently on someone else's server.) Maybe this has been thought of already=2C but I can't see it anywhere. I've= never used mail under emacs (though I've used emacs for about 12 years).=20 What I have in mind is a single text file containing (say) one year's 10^5 = emails. I could go through attaching tabs=2C=20 TODO notes=2C draft replies=2C rude remarks=2C tags=2C ... able to open a s= pecific category ...
