So during reading Paul's essay, I got this idea, apply the statistical filter to all my mails to not only just two categories, but several categories: such as Spam, Interesting, Advertisement, AccountUpdate, StrangeLogEventsAndAlerts, PrivateMustRead, MildInterest, LeastInterest... etc.
Reading my own mail (this one that I just sent :)) and I realize that simple token treatment definitely won't work good enough to mark sort my post into interesting (How shameless :). It may work for categorization of regular notifications and alerts, but for general chatting list, something more need to be taken into account. Maybe the the lengh of original post? or proportion of quotes against reply? or average length of sentences?
Any more ideas or comments are welcome!
