These would be good. I used to have mh invoke lynx on html messages,
but most people actually send both text and html, so now I just read
the text (and visual scan HTML if it is only HTML). It would be nice
to be able to say "show <according to this hierarchy" e.g. text first,
then html (via lynx -dump), then MS Word (via catdoc), etc.
invoked when messages are inc'd, rmm'd, and refiled. Part of my project,
grokmail, builds a real database from your mail messages. So you can do
By 'real database' do you mean a Berkeley/MySQL-type DB? Is this sort
of like supporting IMAP?
Of course, the real magic of grokmail is that you can train it by
ranking messages on a scale of 1-10 and then scan for interesting
messages.
Like GNUS for Emacs? That would be really cool. Bayesian filtering of
messages would be a funky feature, and not that hard to implement, from
my PoV, e.g.:
* Nathan currently has 20 messages in his inbox.
* He reads the one from "My Boss" first.
* He then reads the one from "Brother in USA"
* He then deletes (without reading) the three with "Rx" in the
title (that somehow escaped the spam filter).
* &tc.
=> Emails from "My Boss" or "Brother in USA" should be highlighted /
upgraded vs. emails with Rx in title should be downgraded. All we'd
need to do is build in some extra smarts in scan/show/rmm that
monitored how we manage new mail against the mail corpus that is
there. Messages could then be tagged (annotated?) according to the
learning, for use/manipulation by mh/Unix tools.
