the nupas .idx file has almost enough information to define a virtual mailbox.
currently the convention is that the directory with the mail is just the base name of the .idx file. if the .idx header also named a mail repository, mailboxes could be virtual. that is, you could sort your mail into many folders and retain a single copy of the mail. high-level tasks 1. make changes to .idx file to allow it to name a document repository. 1a. reverse index of repository to mailboxes 2. make changes to delivery programs to "deliver" to virtual folders, taking care not to make duplicate entries in the repository. 3. garbage collection of messages. when no .idx file references a message, it must be deleted from the repository. 4. optional. extend upas/nedmail to be able to create new virtual mailboxes as the result of a search. - erik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
