Message-ID: <449538154806c7a7e62a2519f277faf6@lsub.org> (raw)

:  that would be nice, but i think it's a bit ambitious for what i'm
:  looking at currently.  the search engine would have to be quite
:  intelligent:
:  
:  1) it would have to be triggered on the arrival of new mail (otherwise
:  newly arrived messages would not be held in the index)

It would have to be triggered on the changing of files in the
file system. With some help from the fs, this becomes cheap.

:  2) it would have to know which parts of the file system contained
:  mail messages and MIME parse them (assuming the mail files
:  were stored in raw format, which seems necessary for digital
:  signature verification, not to mention efficiency of delivery
:  and storage).

Don't agree. I store the messages in cooked format. That makes it easy to
understand mime :-)
If you want the raw message for whatever purposes,
you might also keep that thing.
