Our development process has been interesting. Although just Riley and I first made Jmail, it's been really gratifying to see companies, journalists, and fellow developers like Diego rise to the occasion to make this entire suite of apps as high quality and extensive as possible.
Great, I've been looking to be able to contact you somewhere, hardly a better place :) Thanks for sharing the project btw, and for keeping jmail alive, been useful to dig into some stuff.
However, there seems to be some "injected" or "fake" emails, that I cannot figure out why they're there in the first place. For example this one: https://jmail.world/thread/55b91b46ef1e4487bee131a8505e14a4?...
For that example, the first problem is that there is no link to the source file from the disclosed files, which is strange, because most other emails have that. Secondly, this almost seems to be a "sponsored" email or something, as it has an ad in the top right corner reading "Sponsored by Drop Site News", but clicking that just takes you to some general page, with no clear information how that's related to the fake/injected email. Also, what does "Verified by X" actually mean, did they verify the authenticity of that specific email?
There seems to be a bunch of people confused by those emails and wondering where they are coming from, because it's missing the source link like the others, so there doesn't seem to be a good way to verify those emails. Could you maybe share a bit about what's going on?
He was a very famous figure in August 2019, and normal people spammed his inbox with emails like the below

These are all real emails! We can do a better job making this clear to the user.
I wanted to reach out and avoid duplication of efforts, but I didn't know the best person to reach out to for this or if this is anything that can be collaborated on.
Are you planning to add date-sorted messages and deduplication/thread view at any point?
I would love to help out, if needed.
Makes it unsettling when it then shows orders for books you've also read. Hard to swallow having anything in common with such a person.
I would have also assumed he got his clothes from much fancier places than Amazon, considering his wealth. Can't beat two day shipping I guess.
Altogether his Amazon orders are disturbing in places, but also somewhat humanizing, which is not what I expected.
>but also somewhat humanizing, which is not what I expected.
I am obviously not defending him or anything, but it always puzzles me how any of this confuses people. Whoever we may be, we are also humans, sharing common human traits and habits, and other people are just as real as we are. Every living moment, you unavoidably share at least some of the common beliefs, ideas, preferences, biases, habits, norms, values, goals, desires, fears, tastes, jokes, expectations, opinions and more with people you'd otherwise absolutely abhor.

On the other hand, providing more fuel for sweaty basement dwellers to invent fake stories about elite lizard people while trashing the civil liberties of thousands of random innocents contacted by this dude? I can think of no better use case.

yes?
Question: Does Blues Traveler appear in the Epstein files? Blues Traveler
Answer: Yes, "Blues Traveler" appears in the files, but not in a way that directly connects the band to Jeffrey Epstein or his activities.
Key Findings:
XM Radio Mention: An email from "XM Signal" dated July 8, 2008, mentions a "Starbucks XM Café Live with Blues Traveler" event. [1] This appears to be a reference to a broadcast or performance by the band on XM Satellite Radio. Analysis:
The searches did not reveal any direct involvement of the band "Blues Traveler" with Jeffrey Epstein or his associates. The mention found is in the context of a radio event.
It's important to distinguish this from the multiple mentions of "Blue Water Café," which is a restaurant and appears in several travel itineraries. [2][3][4]
Further Investigation:
If you have a specific reason to believe "Blues Traveler" might be connected, please provide more details. For instance, was there a particular event, person, or date you had in mind? This could help refine the search.
There's a reason most of the industry has switched to letting agents grep + navigate within the results.
Come to think of it, it's probably the same reason "intelligent" search engines were so consistently hated by end users, and never really panned out during the early 2000's.
but the other people cc'ed in the particular emails i found do pop up though. weird.
> The search failed because there was an internal server error (status 500) when trying to access the document search tool. The web search also did not return any usable results.
So about that specific thing, how do you avoid this particular problems with LLMs getting basic things wrong and basically being a lottery if the answer is correct or not? It's the reason I've avoided (and encouraged others to avoid it to) using LLMs too heavily in the process of reading, understanding and summarizing documents, but clearly you've must have figured out some trick to this?
As in, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google's models won't follow instructions regarding forensics for this?
