I don't remember what he wrote, but, at one point, I got the idea he had a lot 
of posts (emails, I presume)  that he wanted to be able to search.  And maybe 
organize / index.

I have used recol for purposes like that--it can index and do full text 
searches on, among other things, mbox files.  

(And, for my (attempt at) an askSam workalike, I organize other data into mbox 
files for easy manipulation by various tools: editors with syntax highlighting 
and folding capabilities, email clients, sorting utilities, ...)

My attempt at an askSam workalike works reasonably well for me, but is not 
ready for distribution.
