I used to be able to select an entire list of mail in the Netscape
Browser Mailer (early version of 4.0.1 I think or earlier), forward it
to myself, and it would automatically concatenate the entire list into
one mail page. Great organizational tool.

In later versions, I haven't been able to duplicate that effect. If I
select an entire list, it will open that many windows ready to mail
each. It would be nice if those were easily selectable options.

One good thing about both is that you get to edit out what you don't
want and you can change the name of the forwarded mail, both of these
being great organizational tools as well.

While I'm at it I might mention that you can put a folder(s) in the
Netscape Mail folder in the System Preferences folder and each folder
shows up in the mailer pull down. If you duplicate and empty category
file (or full one) and change the name to a category you prefer (doing
all this while Netscape is not running), you can have a highly
categorized Netscape Mail Browser. You can then filter or individually
file your inbox mail as it comes in to those folders and categories that
you have previously constructed. Great organizational tool.

I don't think you would want more than about 20 folders and 20
categories per folder, but I don't think there is a limit to this, other
than the scrolling speed may slow down if you get too many more than that.

Hope this is an okay comment for this list.
