I wrote this code in order to do the analysis I posted in this blog

If you want to send me patches or bugfixes, details on how to do that
are here:

1. Parse your mailbox using the count_gmail.py script
--------------------------------------------------------------

I ran the script like this:

$ python count_gmail.py ~/incoming/mail/default > mail_metadata.tsv

2. Parse the output using analysis.R
--------------------------------------------------------------

I run R interactively in Emacs/ESS but you might want to use RStudio
if you are not familiar with Emacs. Alternatively, if you also output
into mail_metadata.tsv, you can just run:

$ R --no-save < analysis.R

It will create the two PDFs files of graphs for you in the local directory.

The I converted the PDFs into PNGs with imagemagick's mogrify:

$ mogrify -format png *pdf
