Speaking of messy and disorganised business you might want to consider
keeping your messages within 79 column margins. (-:

To a single text file? Or individual file for each message?

I could quickly change the sn2rnews.cmd script (soup-news 2 rnews) in
the Yarn2Any rexx script collection to convert folders to rnews. Rnews
is basically plain text with a little text divider/header between each
message.
