Well I know this isn't going to help much but it is possible to write a script
or even a small program that would sort your mail into different folders by
looking for the address of the sender. I suppose you would use something
alongs the lines of 'grep SHADOWTK mail-file'. This would be a solution and
I suspect that some people on the list may do something like this already.
Any of you budding hackers out there already done this and would like to post
their program ?

Not to take up bandwidth here, but you can (if you're a unix machine) get a
program called procmail. Its indespensible for anyone who is on more than one
mailing list. It handles the seperation of mail into groups set by you and more.
