Which reminds me a lot of MH folders.  And the multitude of clients that can
read an MH folder.  I think I'll try to have procmail split the mail
automagically in MH folders depending on the `year-month', as in:

	~/Mail/freebsd-questions/2001/09/*
	~/Mail/freebsd-questions/2001/10/*
	...

I really loved the ideas that started popping up with your message, Mike.
Thanks a lot :)
