> what does the remembrance agent do?
Sorry, I should have included some background. The Remembrance Agent sits
in the background while you work in emacs and suggests old documents that
may be related to what you are currently working on (based on the number
of similar words). You first have to tell it to build a database of
documents (usually your mail messages and other text documents) that you
might like to index. It will then make suggestions as you type; these
suggestions, and their "weights" appear in a small buffer at the bottom of
your emacs window. Essentially, the RA is an information retrieval
system.
