kmail and saving threads

Thought I'd give some feedback.
1. sudo aptitude install mhonarc
2. You can find the help in /usr/share/doc/mhonarc/index.html
3. In kmail, I created a new folder under the INBOX, I called it 'threadjail'
4. I collapsed the thread I wanted to save (NB step), then right click->Copy 
To->Inbox->threadjail
5. I made a dir in home called (creatively) mhonarc
6. cd ~/mhonarc
7. mhonarc -mhpattern "^[^.]" ~/Mail/threadjail/cur/
(where ~/Mail/threadjail/cur/ may be in a different place on your setup)
(The "^[^.]" thing is very important, without it mhonarc ignores kmail 
messages. It tells mhonarc to ignore anything starting with a dot. No, I 
dunno either :)
8. Look inside mhonarc using konqueror
9. Open msg00000.html

Beautiful!
