Subject: [9fans] acme multi-line tags (or maybe, efficient message stores)
Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2011 12:48:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae8236023be4bc6186f1d6141c403be3@orthanc.ca> (raw)
After the previous round of arguments about (native plan9) acme multi-line
window tags, did anyone ever come up with a patch that at least some
people were happy with?

P.S. Is there any point to keeping mailing list archives any more?
With every messsage including the history of every discussion before
it, the concept of search is rendered obsolete.
P.P.S. Of course, nobody gives a fsck about history any more.
P.P.P.S. [P.S.] introduces an interesting idea. Instead of storing
message text in a file, place each line of text into venti as a block,
then store the message as a list of venti hashes pointing to the
per-line content. With all the duplicate included text, this should
be good for a 90% reduction in venti block storage for most mail
servers. The 'included line' prefixes would have to be stored
seperately for this to work.
