had a talk with some of the DAV folks last year. AIUI the right way to do it would be to standardize a small amount of email specific stuff on top of DAV (rather than force everything to work within DAV). a lot could be achieve by using DAV properties to access email specific meta-data (for example unread counts) but yes, xml is the preferred DAV format. it's not as terse as standard email formats and would require parsing. so yes, the question would be how big an impact this would be. i'm interested in associating and sharing meta-data with email so i'm willing to trade a little verbosity for being able to create servers and clients more easily. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
