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. --lyndon
