Hiran, Well, is Tamino aware of the mime format? I assume that even if a repository has indexing services, it won't know how to break apart the message and have the different search terms work against the appropriate parts of the message.
I'm not exactly sure how the interface would work, but I was thinking it would be an extension or in addition to the current MailRepository. I would like to continue to have a db, file, tamino, filemem, or whatever repository on the backend. Figuring out the inheritance issue isn't going to be fun, so I have to think through some design patterns to see how to best reuse the repository code we already have. -- Serge Knystautas Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites http://www.lokitech.com/ Chaudhuri, Hiran wrote: > Hi Serge. > > You again? > > It was some indexing and retrieval reason that made me create the Tamino > mail repository.
