No. what I am talking about setting up Eudora's sorting mechanism. You
can set a variety of folders for different purposes, and tell Eudora
to sort all the incoming mail to appropriate folders. It can search on
various header fields, such as the To:, the From:, the Reply To:, etc.
You can have all the Who list sent to a Who list folder to keep it
separate from your other e-mail, for instance. I used to use Eudora,
so I know this works quite easily. My current setup sorts my mail into
about 15 different folders, each of which is a particular mailing list
or whatever (I am on a number of mailing lists, doing beta-testing for
a software package, etc., so it is convenient to have things
organized.) 

BTW, there is an html version of Eudora's help files available on the
Web at http://www.netspot.unisa.edu.au/eudora/contents.html.
