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. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
