that's easily solved by using the filtering capabilities and moving the messages 
into a folder before reading them... mine even split off-list responses to list 
posts into their own folders so i don't get confused about if it is a list post 
or off-list response...

i haven't pulled everything older than when i joined the 30+ lists i carry but i 
do have everything since then and can search them without "going online"... but 
who isn't online 24x7 these days? especially with always-on dsl or cable 
connections? ;)
