   Save your emails to text.  You can place many messages into one 
file.  Then use TSE to do such things as:
   Clean up excessive >>>>>>>>>s.
   Read those lines, which would normally exceed the screen dimensions
on the left and right screen boundaries. Convert them into paragraphs.
   Convert more than two blanks lines to just two blanks by deleting the 
third,
fourth, fifth, etc. blank lines.  Write a macro to automate this.
   Have the screen automatically go into 25, 28, 30, 33, 36, 40, 44, or 50
line mode depending on the length of the message.
   Assign the use of one key to delete a boring message.
   Use another key to cut, then append an interesting message to a file in
which you keep your favorites.  
   If you can get the headers into your text file, then you will see
"semware" in 
the header.  Upon finding Semware, have your
program automatically cut and paste the message into a Semware holding file.
    Colorize the messages, so that the words GET  OR  NOT  PRINT  USE  VIEW 
RETURN and CALL in caps show up in yellow.  
   I capitalize the keys-words and the reserved-words in my favorite
programming language.  I colorize these words -- capitalized only -- in both
code
and emails.  By serendipity, when I see an email which has lots  of 
colorization, I am almost certainly looking at spam.  I'm not looking at code
because I am about the last person in the United States using the Open Access
programming language. (Alas)
   Use TSE's blinding speed to skim 20 messages in the time someone using
GUI programs can pull up one message.  
   Get the gist of your emails by using compressed view, bookmarks and 
bookmark
viewers.
   Be creative with keyboard macroes.  (I spell macroes with an "e".  This
spelling
appeals to my aesthetics, the rules for pluralization of English word I
learned in the
1950's, and best-of-all, allows me to search my TSE directory for macroes I
wrote.)
