[stylist] The two list idea

Mon Apr 6 23:47:33 UTC 2009

Cindy,
I think what you are looking for might be in outlook for sorting 
incoming mail.
I don't use outlook, but eudora has that option too.  posts can be 
sorted by subject.  of course, this assumes you don't act like a 
packrat and keep everything in your in-box, like I do.  if you are 
better about that, then sorting by subject would work for you.
