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.
