I do realize the difference between a RM application & archiving.  Email
archiving is what my IT department has been calling the project.  My
questions were less about "which software is best" & more about "can we
remove users from the process with an automated system of classifying
emails for retention."

Thanks to those who have responded so far...

I'm always amused when I see the word "archiving". Although it has crept
into our lexicon, it really means nothing more than saving, albeit in
some cases for long-term retention. Archivists, on the other hand, are
involved
in the permanent retention of records of historical value and never use
this term.

As another list member noted, the software you seek is a records
management application. There are several on the market that provide for
the retention and disposition of electronic mail.
