Heh.  If you read mail on Unix, use a mail filter like procmail.  You
can find links to procmail tutorials from www.procmail.org.  If you
read mail on a Windows or Mac OS machine, or from a `web mail' kind of
client, then your mail client probably has built-in filtering
capability.  If it doesn't, get one that does.

With a mail filter, you can command that, say, all mail to addresses
containing `questions@freebsd.org' should be placed in a folder
`freebsd-questions'.

Good luck,
  Lucas
