PROBLEM STATEMENT: Some of the senior executives complain that they receive a lot of information through EMAIL that they really don't need or they do not have time to read on a regular basis. A quick-fix is to let a secretary screen the mail or just dump the mailbox when it gets full. How do we solve this problem? CONSTRAINTS: 1. Utilize on an existing PR1ME LAN system. 2. Make it easy enough so that a computer novice can use it. COMMENTS: I am looking for general ideas and methodologies on how to attack this problem. A clipping service using keyword searches and/or neural net pattern-matching is an example. If you can sugggest tools that will help given the constraints, that would also be beneficial.

The MIT Information Lense right up you alley. The current issue of Byte Magazine (May, may not remain on newsstands now that it's almost June) has an article about it. There's a few companies commercializing on it, interestingly by removing some of the functionality. Bill Biesty (biesty@ide.com)
