By "throw away anything where the overlap is less than 50%" I meant
to discard (exclude from the final file) anything where the overlap
was (IMO) insignificant.

This would leave those overlaps where RULE_A hit all the emails that
RULE_B also hit (100%), and RULE_B hit somewhere between 50% and 100%
of the rules that RULE_A hit.

It'd also be good to identify overlaps where RULE_A hit 90% of what
RULE_B hit, and RULE_B hit 90% of what rule A hit, but neither hit
100% of the other's ...
