David,
having been in the ISP business in Germany for the last
11 years, I'm used to having tons of mails flowing in.
So I know that problem very well.

These days, ie for the last three years, I'm using Eudora as
a mail user agent. This thing has very nice filtering capabilities,
and more coming up in release 3.0. So currently I have it scanning
incoming mails for To: and Cc: lines containing "live-aboard", than
label the mail in color. Other mailclasses I have refiled directly to
a different folder for later perusal, or have increased priority markers
stuck onto them.
I'm definitely not related in any way to Qualcomm; but this piece
of software is about the nicest I have seen. There is a bunch of
tools in the UNIX world, notably the mh suite of programs, which
by now may to similar things. Alas, when I tried it years ago, I
never got the filtering mechanism to work as nicely.
cheer from the armchair :-)
Axel
