When you go to the Local Folders/inbox - KMail, you are presented with
(under File) "Save As".  So you do that.  Then you tell it OK, or whatever it
says then.  And now you would like to read your next email, but under the
display, is the old email that you just saved, and you don't want to read it 
anymore.  You have to snap on that, go to the X on the top, and stop it.  
Eudora doesn't work that way, and neither should KMail.  It's a PITA, and
should not be necessary.  I hope that now I have explained what nobody seems
to have grasped before.

Some correspondents have talked about "dragging and dropping" an email to 
a directory.  I have no idea how to do that.  The directory that all the 
emails are saved to is  home/doug/Documents.  It would help if I could 
use some different directories, for different email lists, like mw, but I 
don't know how to do this.  I don't have any directories displayed to drag 
and drop anything to.  And, to be honest, I expect to use "Save as" so that
I can control the name of the file, such as file, file_1, file_2, etc, which I 
could not do with drag and drop.
