Re: Good mail management techniques?

[Patrick Albuquerque <patrickq@mts.net>]

An interesting approach might be remembrance agents, from

http://www.media.mit.edu/~rhodes/RA/

	Remembrance Agents are a set of applications that watch over a
	user's shoulder and suggest information relevant to the
	current situation.  While query-based memory aids help with
	direct recall, remembrance agents are an augmented associative
	memory. For example, the word-processor version of the RA
	continuously updates a list of documents relevant to what's
	being typed or read in an emacs buffer.  These suggested
	documents can be any text files that might be relevant to what
	you are currently writing or reading. They might be old emails
	related to the mail you are currently reading, or abstracts
	from papers and newspaper articles that discuss the topic of
	your writing.

Has anyone tried this?  It's released under GNU but requires emacs
which I'm not familiar with :-(
