Thanks DJA. Interesting. This is in some respects pretty close to what I want. Radically different approach. Need to think about that. I have several Yahoo group mailing lists that I have subscribed to for a long time. So I have the posts in maildir format (I subscribe to have the posts sent to me) and was looking to extract simple stats from them. I find http://yah.warmcat.com/ to be a great idea. It acts as a viewport into a community of activity. There is a lot that can be done with this concept, some good, some well honestly, not so good. But the basic notion of using data mining to construct viewports into large message bases is very powerful. Some day we will probably look at Google as primitive example of such a viewport.
