I'm a newbie with James so I apologize for my awkward questions.

Using JAMES 2.1a1 with JDBC.
I am wondering if the following is possible with James:

James receives a 'multipart' email, then separates the message into a text only body 
and a file (the multipart attachment).  James stores the text body in JDBC and the 
file(s) in the file system.  The JDBC message entry would contain a column (named 
multipartid) with a unique id that refers to a folder on the file system that contains 
the attachment(s).

For example, let's say James receives a 'multipart' message to 'test@localhost', with 
attachment 'attach1.zip'.  The text body only would be stored in the JDBC message 
store with a column, 'multipartid', set to '756573843784' (just examples).  The 
attachment portion remaining would be saved as file 'attach1.zip' in directory 
'756573843784' of a file system store.  As a result the attachments from that message 
are referenced by the unique id.

I'm sorry if this sounds crazy but I'm going somewhere with this.

A web application could be created to view the message body via JDBC.  Then a URL to 
download the attachment would refer to '.....756573843784/attach1.zip'

This would allow the attachment to be downloaded via the HTTP web server, as opposed 
to pulling it from JDBC as one big message body.  Is any of this possible ?

Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for their input on my previous 
questions, greatly appreciated.
