Useless Email Things

From Rabbi Blog

Revision as of 10:33, 29 May 2022 by Rabbi Bob (talk | contribs)

Weeding out useless transmissions in a sample base from 280,000 emails via three accounts back to roughly 2006. One downside of my approach is that I'm not capturing a high level count of things before removing, which skews some of the output numbers as we go: if an email is found earlier by a search term in removed, it can't be counted in subsequent searches.
