Where do we want to do the XML-RPC server? In C as part of DBMail, or in Python which calls into DBMail? What if this were a mechanism to export all of DBMail's functionality through XML-RPC? Here's my crazy thought: Rather than having apps like webDBmail dig directly into the database (which is cheap and fast, but it means that the web app needs intimate knowledge of the database and any revisions it goes through) we export an XML-RPC interface that the web app queries. I have no delusions that the XML-RPC will be any *simpler* than the direct SQL, but I do think it might be more maintainable long term. Aaron
