Certainly. The archive server could then add simply meta-tag information to mails based on some kind of discriminant function analysis, or a weighting on 5-6 neural net vectors.
clients could then run private scripts like this simple example (in Applescript 'cause I am a Mac head)
property myWeightings:{0.5,0.1,-0.7,0.9,0.01,}
set thisMailsWeights to (extract meta weights(mail_headers)) as list
set myRanking to 0
set n to 1
repeat with myWeight in myWeightings
set myRanking to myWeight * item n of thisMailsWeights
set n to n + 1
end
if myRanking is less than 3 then
mark the current mail as read
set the color of the current mail to "light gray"
end if
cheers,
