I'm reading and replying to this message using an SQLite-backed email client See http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ExperimentalMailUserAgent. All incoming and archival emails are stored as BLOBs in a table. The full text of messages is indexed. It is all very fast and I haven't had to do anything special to make it so. Of course, all this assumes a modern workstation. Perhaps your MUA is designed to work on a handheld with cheapest (read: slowest) flash memory available and a 50 MHz ARM processor or something? -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
