+ifile is a general mail filtering system that works with a mail client to
+intelligently filter mail according to the way the user tends to organize
+mail. ifile uses the machine learning algorithm Naive Bayes to classify
+e-mail documents.
+
+ifile is different from other mail filtering programs in three major ways:
+
+ 1.ifile does not require you to generate a set of rules in order to
+ successfully filter mail
+ 2.ifile uses the entire content of messages for filtering purposes
+ 3.ifile learns as you move incorrectly filtered messages to new mailboxes
+
+ifile is not dependent upon any specific mail system and should be adaptable
+to any mail system which allows an outside program to perform mail
+filtering. The download package includes instructions for using ifile with
+NMH, EXMH and slocal. Grant Taylor describes the use of ifile with
+procmail.
