I ment classification in the sense of automated as apposed to manual
classification by author or subscriber, in the general sense, not linked
to any mail client or server. Example: junk mail detection by mail client.
After sending my previous mail this morning I looked a bit more into
(the faq of) carrot2, which links to LingPipe as a solution for people
that like pre-defined classes. LingPipe in fact has a tutorial where
they classify a dataset of newsgroups articles, see e.g.
http://alias-i.com/lingpipe/demos/tutorial/classify/read-me.html. I
suppose it would be interesting to see what could be done with the pg
archives. If the archive database itself is publically available, or
could be made available I'd be willing to put some time into this
(solely on the bases that I'm interested in the outcome, not that I
pursue that it'd be used by the pg project, though that'd ofcourse be
cool if it turned out that way in the end)

Yeb Havinga
