Subject: Wish: "rate of new info" for scoring
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 14:03:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r7u72dp9.fsf@Janik.cz> (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to be able to automatically score down articles that are written
using the well known style of Outlook users, ie:

--- cut here ---
You're right.        <<< This is new info

> ...                <<< This is the original e-mail, quoted
> ... many lines ...
> ...
--- cut here ---

To cope with this, we could:

- count lines/characters that are new (ie. not quoted). (/n/)
- count lines/characters that are quoted (/q/)

So the "rate of new info" is q/n. We can then score using this value and
mark articles as useless to read etc.

What do you think about it?

I'm glad that Emacs is bigger and more open than some of the people who use
it.
