The downside of Emacs RMAIL is that the message headers used in the
RMAIL file format make it neccessary to use less than simple grep
locutions or a perl construct to get desired results when searching
heterogeneous archives of old email.

ylee is responding to my post from last May.  Finding my archived
copy was an exercise in the "downside" mentioned above as some of the
news archive is in RMAL format.

Still a backslider on Inbox Zero with 75 mssgs in inbox, only a dozen
of which are from this week.
