Hi.
I'm currently looking into persistent email storage for some internal applications.
One of our requirements is that we need to be able to produce on demand a byte-by-byte identical copy of the original message (we expect GPG signed messages to be quite common). My understanding of this means that to do this we would either need to store the original message, or split it up into chunks but store these chunks in their encoded form. This is because quoted printable encoding does not necessarily round trip:
>>> '=66=6f=6f'.decode('quopri').encode('quopri')
'foo'Anyone know if this assumption is correct for email messages? I suspect I'm going to have to double our storage requirements and store a copy of the original message as well as decoded text for indexing and decoded attachments for easy retrieval. Or just decide to break GPG signed messages for the pathalogical cases.
