If there were software that allowed one to archive an email (coming or going) by pressing an "Archive this" key or icon, this would be a boon to the history of science."

I do just this, as explained here:

If you use a Mac there are probably equivalent commands to the ones I use in Linux. Having left the Windows world years ago, I can't advise on how you would do this easily on a Windows machine, but it probably wouldn't be a lot of work for a Windows developer to write that software. <advertisement>It's just a lot easier under Linux </advertisement>.

Cheers,
