When I find something useful, I drag it into file in my email program I've named Piano Related. Can't say as I go back to look much...

This way you keep all the attachments and pictures. Over the years I have accumulated over 4000 Pianotech digests which translates to about 50,000 emails and takes up hardly any space on the hard drive, in my case 350 Mb.
