	Procmail won't work for me. I am already using procmail to sort
	the mails into more than ten folders. The feature I want is when
	I explicitly want to save a message, I want a default filename
	in ~/Mail. I am reading all the mails from ~/mail. I really
	cannot merge these two folders together becoz my ~/Mail is about
	180M big, and it just takes too long for mutt to handle it.

	Thanks.
