I chose to adapt the email client I've been working on to create cards rather than store text files. I can't see the point. I can see the dissadvantages - can't search, slightly slower access, messy file structure, but no real advantages. The strategy i was thinking of taking was to archive stuff over xmonths old and junk as either text files of stacks (not sure yet) and keep a reasonable size of stack in memory (spitting off chunks when it needs to slim down) - what do you think? Had a quick look at the scripts and prefer the syntax: " open socket targetserver with message sockopen" as it's neater, and you can do other stuff in case of a network delay. What do you think about altering the scripts to handle the conversation with this technique?

I can see the dissadvantages - can't search, slightly slower access, messy file structure, but no real advantages. Originally I was storing the mail as custom props in a second stack but it kept growing and growing and by the time it was 4M it became to slow at sorting things. Besides if the stack is gone all the mail is gone. Creating a mechanism for periodic archiving is probably easier with a bunch of files. That's not to say that this method is perfect.

What do you think about altering the scripts to handle the conversation with this technique? Yes, I'll look into it. The thing is that you don't really want to do other stuff unless you have an open connection (that was my thinking).

Re: stacks available
I posted the Email stack togather with a revised version of the ftp client and a rewrite of the web server. The web server does not have support for cgi yet but it sends full headers to clients which should improve performance and cross platform compatibility. Also I added support for /pub directory so clients can do file download via http. I'd appreciate your feedback. All this wonderful things at http://www.cloud9.net/~undo ;-) Regards, Andu ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list. .
