It's even more unfornate that IBM is applying for a patent, which might cover this feature (IANAL): ,---- | SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION | | [0020] The present invention is a method for assisting a user with the | task of identifying and carrying out an appropriate labeling of an | electronic document such as electronic mail, a news group article, web | pages or non-textual electronic documents such as images, video clips | and audio clips. | | [0021] The method of the present invention includes the steps of | training a text classifier on the user's existing labeled collection of | documents, running the classifier on newly received documents, using the | classification results to identify the most likely labels and presenting | the set of possible labels to the user in a way that accentuates the | most likely labels. The method further includes the step of updating the | classifier as documents continue to be stored and labeled. | | [0022] In one embodiment of the invention, the method is imbedded in an | electronic mail application and assists users in organizing their mail | in separate folders. In a second embodiment, the method is imbedded in a | Web browser for the purpose of assisting users in organizing their | bookmarks (pointers to web pages). `---- Does anybody know how long Mew has had this feature? Maybe it's prior art.
