there's a nice utility named ifile, which uses word-frequencies to sort
messages into folders. ifile itself is very generic: it has no file-
locking interface and therefore can't be used directly.
it would be nice to use it with mutt. one can pipe a message into it and
tell it where it belongs, and later similiar messages can be piped into
ifile asking it where to put them: it learns by (complex) example.
now, ifile returns a sorted list of foldernames if invoked with the query
option, lines with a foldername first followed by a real number denoting
"tstistical relevance" or whatever one should call it.
what would be the best way to take ifiles output and "program" the folder
name to be used for a save-operation? it's very easy to get at the first
word of the first line, that's one line of sh(1), but this result would
have to be the argument of the 's'ave!
