[http://www.infoloom.com/pipermail/topicmapmail/2010q4/008588.html This email] was sent to Topic Maps mailing list by Steven Pepper 2nd of November 2010.

 Next Wandora user starts Wandora's email extractor again and chooses to extract MBOX email repository in her local Thunderbird folder. This email repository, called '''topicmaps''' contains little over 1000 emails sent to Topic Maps emailing list. After extraction user can browse email topics, email address topics, and date topics for example. This example stops here but the reader is encouraged to try Wandora's batch extraction options to all extracted emails. Occurrence batch extraction is described in tutorial [[Refining occurrences]].
