   Hello Ed!   
      
   Maybe there is a way for you to TAG the message (add a mark of some kind in the   
   message list with your reader?)   
      
   I looked at MultiMail briefly, but I don't think there is way. :(   
      
   BUT.. I have no problem with tagging when I am using the nntp (newsreader)   
   method with Thunderbird.  I can even save a partially constructed reply into   
   Save(as Draft), and come back to it whenever I want.

   The computer is a tool and a toy.  TOOL: I need it to track and perform   
   business-related things.  TOY: echomail.  No games for me.

   I am not as organized as you.  I just plop everything in the root \MyDocuments   
   directory. \MyDocuments seems to be the default offering with Ctrl-S.  Then, I   
   simply rely on "Search" to find what I need starting at the \MyDocuments level.   
      
   I do however try to name my files with obvious topically oriented names in the   
   string.  Thank goodness for long filenames!   
      
   I rarely have to do a computer-wide search for anything starting at a root   
   directory.

   So.. you basically have your document filing system represented right on your   
   desktop.  Nothing wrong with that.  For me, it's just as easy to open   
   MyDocuments from the START menu and take it from there.  I like being able to   
   sort by Date or Name when I need to look for something specific - and avoid the   
   Search function.

   Well, with SaveAs..  you can look around for the right directory to plop your   
   file into.  You don't need to know the directory in advance.

   I only use Window's Recent Documents when I know that I accessed/saved a file   
   within a few days or a week.  The current 15 file listing is good enough.  It   
   is   
   not intended as a long-list of ALL documents accessed.  Maybe there is away to   
   increase the 15 files to higher number with a registry edit, but I don't need   
   that.

   Maybe time to purge?!!!   
      
   Sometimes I have to wonder what's the point in keeping files that I haven't   
   looked at for over 10 years.  Pictures might be an exception.  But do I really   
   need archived email and their attachments from 1999-2012 anymore?

   2TB is sweet.  I just upgraded with a refurbished Thinkpad T540p 16:9 screen,   
   with a 1TB SDD and Win7pro 64-bit.  But I'm not fully transferred to it yet.  I   
   hate the task of transferring my apps and files from a previous XP machine.  I   
   still really like my compact T60 "square" 5:4 screen - a lot!

   But things can accumulate, fast.  I have to get rid of old mp3 files that I can   
   "duplicate" with a Spotify access, and old .avi .mp4 video files that I rarely   
   bother with anymore.   
      
   Back in the day when I was still using a fine WinME pc, and DIALUP for internet   
   access, around year 2000, I put a few of the better ones I liked here:   
      
   	http://kolico.ca/mpg/   
      
   Those files were HUGE wrt dialup back then.

   I enjoyed volunteering to fire up the university campus FM radio transmitters   
   on   
   Sunday mornings.  The dials, the meters, the sound, the ozone smell..  sweet!
