I'm beginning to look like a troll now.. http://www.postgresql.com/docs/7.4/interactive/sql-altertable.html Take a look at 'set storage'. I think that means that text and varchar are 'extended' by default. Interesting. I could imagine me trying to set the header field to 'external' or even 'plain' in order to increase speed. After all, header speed is one of my #1 priorities when it comes to webmail. But this would require us to have separate fields for message and header, pretty please? I'll try to not send any more mails unless somebody answers now.. -HK
