Paul,

By doing something similar to what I do now. Using filters to direct
the mail into "child" folders. Ex: Suse list. Slug list, Aviation
list, Porsche list, etc. to my mailbox. Rose Society, Pasco library,
etc. to her list. All the remaining to go to both of us. That is
why I like Kmail so much. Very configurable. I have set up her
"user" account and customized it for her. Graphics viewer to open up
family pictures, Xmms to open her favorite directories for music, The
Open Office thing for her minutes of clubs and personal
correspondence, etc. Very customized and convenient/simple for her
to access as opposed to the confusing (to her) command line jumble
when she has to log on to my user account to use or get e-mail.

Is that logical????
