[Hidden-tech] Natural Language to SQL (NL2SQL)

[rich at tnrglobal.com]

I tried using Claude to scan thunderbird for email and ran into some 
permissions issue.
Their api help said it was addressed even though it wasn't - haven't 
gotten back to it.
Will tap you if I still can address it come May when I get back to it.
