A simple way to keep mail boxes to a manageable size is to split
them by year. In extreme cases, by month. From my .procmailrc :
YYYYMM=`date +%Y-%m`
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List:[ ]*linux-kernel@vger\.kernel\.org$
linux-kernel-$YYYYMM
If you use Kmail, you probably don't use Procmail but it takes
more than mere logic to stop me from giving unsolicited advice.
