    Uh, Paul,

    Let me introduce you to that key on your keyboard between the 'S' and 'F'
    keys. Its the 'D' key. Amoung its other good uses (like being used
    twice in "David") is that most MUA's use it to delete emails and threads
    you don't care to participate in.

    I use -t *all* the time with I do a long listing (ie, -l). I know I'm
    not alone in knowing the "-t" option to 'ls' exists.
