	I've been using Mail and now mush for 10 years now, pretty
much the same way: filing things off to individual mail folders, some
of them in subdirs off my ~/text/mail dir...

	Well, I'm getting tired of doing it that way!  It can take
a while to find things with lots of folders.  I suppose I could save
copies of some email to multiple folders, but that doesn't seem
to be a good way of doing things (gee, let's fry disk space!)

	I'm interested in figuring out/finding something that would do this:

	* I save something off with, say, the keywords "X11R5, motif,
	Imake"

	* the actual email goes to ~/text/mail/1992/Dec/11

	* a simple database gets updated, and the entry looks something
	like:

From: Dan Mosedale <mosedale@genome.stanford.edu>
Message-Id: <199212111919.AA01351@genome.stanford.edu>
Subject: Re: Depotizing Motif
To: libby@osf.org (Libby Hanna)
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1992 11:19:36 -0800 (PST)
Cc: motif-talk@osf.org
Keywords: X11R5, motif, Imake
File: _MAILHOME/1992/Dec/11
	
	(maybe more fields, maybe less, doesn't matter for the basic point..)

	Ok, so the email is squirreled away chronologically (or by some
	other user-specified arrangement), and there's a simple database
	for looking up things.

	* I would then be able to come along later and do some sort of
	pick/search through the database, such as "give me all of the
	X11R5, motif letters" or "give me all of the Imake letters from
	Libby Hanna".  This seems to fit the natural way this mammal
	likes to find things :-)


	So anyways, this spills into "how to squirrel away news as
well".  Has anyone attempted this?  Perhaps some other mailer that
I've been blissfully ignorant of all this time?  I imagine I could
hack something together in Perl to do this, but thought I would get
a feeler for what people have done, what they think.
