Sounds like it. Anyone know if this (or another) method generalizes
to more than two categories (spam/nonspam)? If so, it could be used
for all mail splitting. We wouldn't have to manually craft split
rules; we'd just seed a new group with the mails we have so far that
belong there, and their contents would let the computer guess which
new mails belong with them.
