I'll see if I can dig out something. But usually, there is more in a single commit - because new params get added for new functionality and so this is always intermixed. > > 2. change a new style parameter > > I'm looking at omruleset and it looks like it may not support the new > config format yet, but I'm not sure.

The "call" statement can do anything omruleset does, but in a much higher performance way. But I think ommail is also missing the new style config. I'll check and, if so, it would make sense to convert it. When doing so, I could do baby-step commits that show things being done individually. > > 3. how to manipulate the raw message buffer in parsing modules (I have > this archived in e-mail, I'll dig it up) > > That's somewhat tricky at the moment and not properly encapsulated. Important question: do you really mean rawmsg or just the msg part of the message (rawmsg is even tricker due to the low-level optimizations made).
