That's very similar to what I do here on my Unix box.  I use formail
to de-digest my email, then use Mutt to sort the treads.

My annoyance is that many people here re-title the subject, so
those messages don't get sorted correctly.  :p

I haven't looked but there _has_ to be a Windoze program that will
di-digest the mail.
