'I had the idea of using temporary files instead of memory, to hold the list of
messages to work on.  I got about halfway through (so the actual list of
messages was in the temp file), and then realized that I'd also have to get the
initial read-in to goto a temp file.  (what happens is that we get the list of
ham, and the list of spam, then we go through and sort/etc into the final list ...)'

suggestion: use fork at startup, do the file search, sort, write the tmp file,
exit that process.  that means the file-list overhead is effectively 0 in the
master process.
