ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A method and apparatus for organizing information in a computer filing system. The method and apparatus include the creation of a pile comprising a collection of documents and displaying a graphical representation of the collection of documents. The method and apparatus further include browsing the collection of documents by pointing a cursor at a particular item in the collection of doc-uments to reveal an indicia for the particular item in the collection of documents. The filing system can automatically divide a pile (e.g. a
c~collection
i~)

of documents from an electronic mail network) into subpiles on the

.... ~

basis of the content of each document in the pile, and the filing system, ~t the user's request can automatically file away documents into existing piles in the computer system on the basis of a similarity match between the content (or other internal representation) of the document and the content (or other internal

~

t;j!

representation) of existing piles in the computer system. The filing system can also create a pile from a sample document by using the intemal representation of the document as the internal representation of the new pile. The computer filing
syst~m

MJi-·

ru

l"r';;~

provides various interfaces in connection with piles to the user of

the system to provide feedback and other information to the user, including information concerning the documents and piles in the computer's filing system.
