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.
