IMHO VM-mode is the best mail reader and do a better job than 
procmail + xyz. 

        - sort by thread (like GNUS or trn)
        - kill by Subject 
        - virtual folder (*) I have a folder for my private mails, for
          daemon mails, and for freebsd-hackers. Very nice :-)


(setq vm-virtual-folder-alist
      '(("freebsd-hackers" (("~/Mail/INBOX") 
			   (recipient "hackers@\\(freebsd\.org\\|.*\.cdrom\.com\\)")
			   ))
	;; just an example :-) 
	;; but it shows that Jordan send 40+x mails to the lists last 2 days
       ("freebsd-chief" (("~/Mail/INBOX") 
			 (author "jkh@\\(freebsd\.org\\|.*\.cdrom\.com\\)")
			 ))
       ))

(*) A virtual folder is a mapping of messages from one or more real folders
into what appears to be a single folder.  A virtual folder definition
specifies which real folders should be searched for prospective messages
and what the inclusion criteria are.
