I've made application to do a tutorial, 1/2 day presentation, on
datamining email. It will use Perl to parse an mbox into a database. The
idea of the tutorial is to demonstrate some novel ways of exploring how
a typical, unmodified email client can run queries through a postgres
server that speaks IMAP.

With a little luck I'll be taking the opportunity of writing my OReilly
articles about datamining  to shape the tutorial.
