I'm working on a project to sort of do spam detection on email. The target
mail system is nmh because it's a whole lot more modular than other mail
systems. The reason that I say "sort of" is that it's not really a spam
detection system, it's a system to show you your mail in order from most to
least interesting as opposed to some other criteria such as order of arrival.
The system has a simple training interface: after you read a piece of mail
you rank it between -100 and 100. No complicated expression writing a la
procmail, etc.
That sounds very cool.
I have a set of changes that I'll submit at an appropriate time. These changes
allow .mh_profile entries that name programs that are executed whenever a piece
of mail is incorporated, removed, or refiled.
Great!
P.S. I'd still like to see the simplified attachment handling patches that I
submitted a year ago to be integrated at some time. Is the next release
the place to do it or should I wait?
I would say, "Do it now", because I'm encouraging all development to happen
on the head (since I've branched for the 1.1 release).
