Produce a TL;DR

[romanofski]

More a wishlist item or perhaps something for an external program.

Sometimes it would be really cool if the client could produce a summary. We have a database of mail. There should be a possiblity to produce a similar thing to what the summarize not can do on Reddit.

What do you want to see in the summary? I have no idea what Reddit does...

[romanofski]

It summarizes a long article and uses: http://smmry.com/ . There are a few articles on reddit how it works, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/4s5b5q/how_exactly_does_a_autotldrbot_work/

To see the thing in action visit it's subredit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autotldr/

We would obviously implement our own or use a library or a separate tool ...

Do you want it per-mail? seems like it would be a job for a plugin.

It would produce a summary for one mail, yes, but to do that I suppose you take into account the text from all mails.
