Thunderbird: Newsletters and AI

[Alex25]

Dear fellow newsletter readers,

This one is about newsletters and the phenomena of repetitive article entries...

Proposals for improvement:
1. Make it possible to trigger the run of a filter timed on weekdays and AM/PM - local time!
Some sites like to send out newsletters so many times per week and day that it eventually becomes riddiculous and they do not allow the user to choose timing nor are they interested in feedback.

2. Analysis and synthesis of a newsletter folder.
Basically the reader picks out all headlines with links from all the newsletters in a folder, the tool remove the duplicates, send them for AI-analysis to create a theme-list and then lists the themes along a timeline.
You pick the interesting themes (checkbox) and open all the relevant articles, if you wish to at once or send the chosen themes to an AI for summarization.

Eg, After analysis...say 50 different themes are listed along the timeline, "AI and Anthropic" is one of the them, you can now pick that theme and choose either to open all the relevant articles or send the relevant articles to analysis for summarization (AI tool of choice or preset).

Threat:
-Integrity, make certain folders "Newsletter-folders" - hence the tool would only work for these folders.
-Flooding the AI machines with newsletters from stores/vendors (100 products)...maybe some warning beforehand.

Thank you for you time!

Happy Holidays!
