Hello I've a 9p server implemented using lib9p which serves decoded files, for example, i have a base64 encoded file i want to read, but i want to decode it at the same time the client reads. Then i need to save two offsets, the one sent to the client corresponds to the decoded data, and i

Hello iirc, mail2fs calls upas/fs then copy /mail/fs/box/files to build the new layout, but if you call upas/fs on a message with a 10mb attachment, upas/fs will load the whole thing in ram, mail2fs will write it to a file, then upas/fs will end it s operation. but the memory usage will be

hello hehe, i don't know why it is copied, probably because if you use mbox format you need the From line as a message delimeter, but if you're using other format, the From line could be avoided. As we are talking about email, may be it has a hidden meaning nobody remembers now ;).
