Actually, this is a (more or less) planned feature albeit for other purposes. I could be used for integrity checks, though I would assume such functionality belongs in the database backend. Storing a hash in/for each message block will be part of a redesign aimed at preventing the same attachment from being stored more than once, even when part of different messages and/or stored in different mailboxes. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
