I should have been more clear, I guess. My system may break in very odd

Creative approaches that get me to my desired behavior--good.
Creative approaches that start with me changing those desires--bad.

Again, this works for people whom you *already know* will fall into a
certain folder. But when I need to fire off an email to a *new*
person, folder-hook, like send-hook, is useless.
