Er, yeah, I'm a dunce.  840K.

If I were to take a crack at this, would that be productive, or do you
prefer to do the core coding yourself?

I'd have to adapt knowledge_base.mh for the gnus environment, but
that's not the real problem; the real problem is simply that in the
last 48 hours, I've gotten totally addicted to being able to put the
first message of a thread into its own class, and have the rest of the
messages which show up over the day turn up in that class.  I can't go
back now ;-)

That said, even 
ifile -q -c 
takes about .4 seconds on my 600Mhz Alpha; that adds up fast...

(What amplifies the problem is that what I think is the "right way" to
hook ifile into gnus has me invoking ifile twice for every message ---
once with -q to get a recommendation, and later with -i to assert the
final decision.)
