How about an R package to talk to google's gmail service, perhaps
leveraging an existing API, such as:
http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/
this is written in pure python, so not only is it cross-platform but
it should be possible to write one in pure R using HTTP calls and the like.
you could then do statistical analysis of your gmail spam purely in R.
or am I now getting too silly?
