True and accepted.

Well, no. What I currently have is a folder [called
IF-YOU-HAVE-NOTHING-BETTER-TODO] wherein I stuff all email that:
- Is not clear that the sender should be on the blacklist
- Is not something send by people I like or own something
- Is not something I haveto/wantto do
- [probably] Does not contain useful information

All want to do is move that stuff with -one- click to that particular folder.
Often these mails will later prove to be SPAM indeed, and thus the source
blacklisted, sometimes it's the usual uproar of infected mails from beloved
windows users, sometimes just wrongly addressed. Stuff I not want in my inbox,
don't want to delete, can't archive to the normal sources...

Am I alone in this?

Cheers,
Ewout
