Email collaborative list filtering tool
I wish gmail would open up it's spam filtering engine (that probably uses a Bayes filter and some crazy other stuff) so that people could start training their own filters for all sorts of stuff and share/collaborate on them with others. that would be sweet, and perhaps useful for the ITP student list and other lists where a lot of people find a lot of the same emails to be crap
collaborative email filter creation
bayesian filtering
maybe set up intermediary email accounts to actually do the filtering? and use greasemonkey to give feedback from within Gmail?

More clearly: email to list goes to each person via an intermediary server that does the filtering. Each person can flag each individual email, server creates Bayesian filter based on sender, content, and feedback it receives, and can filter future messages accordingly by sending them back to their authors rather than forwarding them to the whole list.
