         ABSTRACT

         We describe a message-filing  capability  which  allows
         for  the  retrieval  of  message 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 perfor-
         mance and implementation considerations.
