While we're talking about automatic rules generator, I wonder if using
something like term frequency index would work for rules suggestions. It
would be neat where some chunk of code could determine the fact that
there's an awful lot of mail from this particular list sitting in one
particular folder and suggest that I use a rule for the folder.

For TFI to work, we'd need a list of words that we can safely ignore. Like
"the", "a", etc.

Hey maybe we can use a little animated paper clip ...
