+Impossible was a bit strong. But if for instance I hit space in a\r
+inboxed mail in a thread with one mail, without taking too much time to\r
+study it, then I will know that I forgot to process one mail without\r
+knowing which one it is. I used to find such mails by searching for\r

+It is just a way to ensure that all your mails are properly filed, and\r
+file them quickly.\r
