If we do something like that, I think we should train on a very small set of
mails, maybe no more than 20-30 of each class.  After all, I think all we're
trying to do is give the new user's incoming mail an initial nudge in the
right direction.  Ideally, the mails should be spread across domains,
senders and recipients.  If that's not possible, header clues which relate
to the senders or recipients should be deleted before shipping.
