I think you can assume that text classifiers can choose one out of N
categories.  In some cases, this is implemented by having N yes/no
classifiers and choosing the result from the one with the highest
confidence value, but this is only an implementation detail.

Using automatic classification for splitting would really be way
cool.  Are there any mail readers which do this?
