No No No ! - I don't think I could <bold>possibly endure</bold>
continually setting up and deleting individual mailboxes for chosen
threads, even with Eudora Pro's Filters.

I would recommend ChunkJoiner however - use Save As... to plonk
successive mailings into the same folder, then drag and drop up to a
dozen at a time so they get automatically shovelled into 1 continuous
file. I used to do this when I was not just receiving over 100 posts a
day but also trying to <bold>read</bold> them in real-time (nowadays I
just receive them and visit my less-crucial mailboxes fortnightly, say,
when I do the separating.

BBEdit 5.0 is pretty good too - you can point it at a Eudora mailbox
full of posts and Digests and it happily finds successive instances of
the search string, i.e. thread, of interest - and so I can catch up on
the latest info PDQ.

S'pose so... - I wouldn't open any attachments from a mailing list that
weren't Digests in the first place.
