Yeah, that's exactly the way I've been doing it, with the minor difference
being that I still restrict the total number of messages (with -$mNNN).  In
fact, I currently have WIMM toss all personal mail to this...

EchoArea INBOX   e:\point\msg\inbox   -$m1000

What I'd really eventually like though, is for this function to be a part
of Msged itself, rather than via an external app.
