Counter example:

(as this is a public list, I'll omit other identifying details)

In related news, I'm making slow but steady progress on what
essentially is a rudimentary mbox browser at this point.  At the
moment, the *only* filter it is applying is "does the email have
attachments?".  This code is nearly ready to share.  You should be
able to run it on your own machine -- I'll worry about deploying it on
whimsy later.  The initial fetch and parsing of 8 years of email will
take about an hour.  Subsequent fetches and parsing will only take
seconds.  You will need about 11Gb of disk to store emails.

Initially, we can use it to explore "what if" scenarios for
heuristics, though I will say that I'm growing increasingly skeptical.
If we can get discarding spam to down to a single mouse click (with an
undo operation) and avoid putting spam in the repository at all, that
might be better than applying filters that may skip over legitimate
messages.

Once we settle on what the rules are, adding in functions from the
existing secretary workbench should be straightforward.
