You have to keep it outside procmail to make it more flexible (also, procmail itself is already too slow). Depending on what exactly you want to index, I think you'll notice it. > The indexing database engine also has the enormous advantage that you > can index every text file, not just email. You can also on-demand translate between the mail and the text file index. This way it would be easier to integrate a mail index into every other database rather than converting the existing database (allthough it maybe slows down search). > Unlike the other solutions > proposed, it would also help when you say "damn, I should really paste > into this message the last part of that old school project..." No problem with an extendable editor. Cheers, Rocco.
