I think he meant the "psychological profile" data, not his email text.

#9I've been doing this sort of thing ever since they introduced the Multiple Inboxes lab feature. It wasn't Gmail's logic, it was my own in a series of complex filters. Here's a screen grab from February 2009: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johndbritton/3257013239/sizes/o...
