Hi,

sorry I am coming late to this thread.  I use the Remembrance Agent.  It
works great for me, trawling both emails and all my text (org, latex,
etc.) documents automatically for similarities in text while I
write.  It's ideal for academic writing (papers, proposals).

The agent is not intrusive at all, assuming you have a large enough
display and works particularly well if you use a display in portrait
orientation, as I do for writing.

There are two elements to setting this up: the emacs side and the
remembrance agent itself.  For emacs, my settings are straightforward:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq hilit-background-mode 'dark) ; if you have a dark background, obviously ;-)
(require 'remem)
(setq remem-database-dir "/home/ucecesf/s/share/remembrance-agent"
      remem-load-original-suggestion t
      remem-prog-dir "/usr/bin"
      remem-scopes-list '(("documents" 4 5 500)
                          ("mail" 4 10 500)
                          ))
#+end_src

For the agent itself, I use cron to update the databases every night
with an entry that looks like this:

,----
| 12 4 * * * sh /home/ucecesf/s/bin/ra-buildindices.sh
`----

The contents of that shell script are:

#+begin_src sh
#!/bin/sh -f
B="/home/ucecesf/s/share/remembrance-agent"
ra-index ${B}/mail ${HOME}/s/News/agent/nnimap/ucl > /dev/null
ra-index ${B}/documents ${HOME}/s/notes ${HOME}/s/grants ${HOME}/s/talks ${HOME}/s/papers ${HOME}/s/projects > /dev/null
#+end_src

In all of the above, you will need to change all the appropriate paths
for the location of the databases and the places to search.  The two
index commands trawl my emails and my relevant documents respectively.

I hope this helps.
