Yes, you can use the "indexing service" for this. You have two options: you can use the libbeagle Python API to send the data to the daemon, or you can drop files into a known location which Beagle will index automatically. For the latter, you will need to drop a file with the content of the message into ~/.beagle/ToIndex. You will also need to drop a file along side of it which describes the metadata. This file has the same name as the content file, except prepended with a dot. So, if you have "message-1" with the content, you'll need to also have a ".message-1" file with the metadata. The format of that dot-file is like so: First line: The URI of the data being indexed. This is the URI used to open the file later. Second line: Hit type - You'll want to use MailMessage for this. Third line: MIME type - this will depend on the content, but you'll probably want message/rfc822 for this. Zero or more additional lines: additional metadata properties to set, in the form "type:key=value", where "type" is either 't' for text or 'k' for keyword. So one of your files might look like: file:///home/joe/mymail/folder1/message1 MailMessage message/rfc822 k:fixme:client=myclient k:fixme:folder=folder1 If you want to use the API, you can take a look at the libbeagle API for that. It should be linked off the wiki. Joe _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
