Re: where to add code to make it possible to "encode" the mail folder

[Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai Großjohann)]

I think that mail-sources is the wrong place to add this stuff: Gnus
reads from a mail source and writes to a group.  From your wording,
you want to support encryption and compression when storing messages.

I think you want to have a look at the various backends nnfolder, nnml
and so on.  I think you don't want to replicate the code, so you'd
need to change all the backends to use a common interface for writing
files (or for naming files?).

Hm.  Yes, that would make sense: you could frob the backends so that
they write the file foo.gz rather than foo, and then you could let
auto-compression-mode take over.
