No, but I'm interested. How do you envision this working?
Have a special save command that:
1) queries the user for a precis
2) searches the mail body for "common keywords" from a list
3) stores the message-id, precis, and keyword-list in the database,
along with the mailbox where the file was saved
?
Maildir might work better than mbox for that.
