[Elecraft] Off-topic, but I need help.

I've suggested POPfile, which does naive bayesian filtering -- which is 
almost magical.

Yes, Thunderbird can do a great job, but it won't filter off topic, and 
you have to do a lot of work.

With POPfile, you classify a few messages (KX3, K3S, Antenna, Digital 
Modes, whatever) and the filter "scores" the words from the messages you 
classified, and uses the score to put the message where it belongs.

If it gets one wrong, you reclassify it, and the filter improves.

It does *not* rely on posters to put rational subjects, and it deals 
with topic drift automatically.

POPfile works with real mail clients (with their awesome search capability).
