Well, I've been meaning to learn about the registry, but I wasn't keen
on having such pressure to start.
I'm a crappy li'l hacker. No one really wants me to do anything
important. Trust me on this.

I might have to look at that spam.el again. I wish I knew better
which bits of ifile-gnus work with imap and which don't. If
ifile-gnus updates .idata whenever I move mail around, then maybe I
can use procmail for the recommendations. It's not quite as nice as
the current setup --- in order to have my rules take precedence over
ifile's recommendations, I'd have to split on every IMAP mailbox. But
I think it would work.
