Normalize and Summarize Email Threads
- Contact: tech-userlevel
- Mentors: David Young
- Duration estimate: 3 months
Write a program that can read an email, infer quoting conventions, discern bottom-posted emails from top-posted emails, and rewrite the email using the conventions that the reader prefers. Then, take it a step further: write a program that can distill an entire email discussion thread into one document where every writer's contribution is properly attributed and appears in its proper place with respect to interleaved quotations.
