yeah -- as discussed in the Plugin pod docs, the life-cycle of the objects
you have access to there is:
- PerMsgStatus object: persistent throughout a single message's
scanning, so good for this case.
- Conf object: global and always available, so good for permanent
state. not good for state that may change between users though; to
deal with that, use the signal_user_changed() hook if necessary.
Those are the two main places to store data if needed.
- --j.
