It is lot easier to look at one mail:

    - Search
    - filter (procmail or MUA means)
    - Forward to another admin for further look
      (people responsible for are XXXX, YYY ...)
    - delete or archibe mail with one command

It is a nuissance to have to deal with multiple mails. The default of 2
is too extreme.
