Not sure what you mean – Gmail does a good enough job sorting it

I used python’s PortableUnixMailbox class and sort/uniq to parse the mbox file and process the results, and OpenOffice to produce the graphs.

Hey Gavin, how did you produce the bugmail graphs? I guess the email has to be in mbox format, but what tools/scripts are involved?

You can actually spot Christmas / New Year 2007 on that graph, as one big crater in the amount of bugmail. I guess that proves we’re all still human…

Did you ever thought about writing a kind of webapp to sort it for you?
I mean, do you feel that the amount of data answers the questions you want to answer this way?
