I've heard this suggestion before as well, but haven't been able to figure out how it would benefit someone. When you say you've been trying it and it seems to "work", what does that mean? I'm not trying to be negative. The suggestion sounds like something useful, I'm just trying to determine what the use actually is. It seems to me that if you already have a trusted and reliable system in place to process what comes into your inbox, this would be an additional processing method to add to your system, and it's not really necessary. So does "working" then mean that this system is easier to maintain than the one you have established already? I'm just interested in your thoughts. Is it worth a change to your existing methods?
