I use smartlist (which is basically a big procmail recipe) together
with some perl scripts to do that. It could be done thru procmail too.
I had promised to donate my scripts to the project, but I wanted to clean
them first. However, since I started this annotation project, I haven't
had as much free time as before :-/
I could donate them as is, if someone would like to clean them. The only
problem is that it's a perl script and it was the first script I ever wrote!
Perl is so powerful that it works ok and it's what we use today at W3C's
on-line archives [1]. But it does need some cleaning to make it generic
to other directory hierarchies than ours.
