Eudora 5.0 features a "hot chillipepper" rating for messages.  It can be
configured to scan upon reciept of the message, or go through all folders
while Eudora happens to be idle.

Like any field, the pepper-rating can be used for filtering messages to a
seperate mailbox.

It is amusingly easy to fake out though; a message with the subject "I'm
an idiot" and a body of "I put the timing belt on backwards..." would be
so short that Eudora would probably give it a whopping 3 peppers; the
rating is affected by both the severity of the language and its proportion
to the rest of the message.
