I split them up periodically when the pain gets too bad.  If one renames
the original group to something else (for xemacs-beta I name them by
developmental version) and create a new group with the original name,
one's email filters continue to work.

There's some pain as threading gets lost for a time, but the renewed
speed of entry outweighs it for me.
