I gave up. It became obvious to me it was frivolous. There are so many
different factors to think about - one important one being that it's not
the performance that matters, but the ease of use, stability, and
familiarity that are more important.
There are more important ways I can spend my time :)
BTW: Does the source garden project need a mail message parser? I wrote one
for O'Reilly's WebBoard NNTP server and they've said I can release it open
source (it's pretty independant to the rest of the app). The difference
between this one and alternatives is it's memory usage: Nil. (or basically
Nil - it uses temp files for storage because MIME and UU attachments can
really bloat ram based solutions).
