Oh, I forgot to mention that part: make a subdirectory of the attachments/ directory, whose name is unique and preferably based on some characteristic of the message (message-id, sequence number, etc.) combined with something unlikely to repeat (a hash, a sequence number, etc.). All that message's attachments would go in there. That might be desirable anyway -- do you suppose a list might see enough attachments and enough activity that all the attachments make readdirs on the attachments/ directory uncomfortably slow? -- -D.
