Message files
Dennis Tsichritzis, Stavros Christodoulakis · ACM Transactions on Information Systems · 1983
We describe a message-filing capability which allows for the retrieval of messages according to contents.Messages are organized in large, general files such that frequent reorganization is avoided.The user specifies a filter which restricts the attention to a manageable subset of messages.Messages within the subset are retrieved for a final check.We discuss file organization and access method, as well as performance and implementation considerations.
