MIME loops: Extracting attachment to disk and replacing it with an URL
2008-04-18 07:18:04
One of our customers would like to extract big attachments from
messages, put them on an FTP/web server and replace the original
attachment part with some text and an URL about where the message can be
found. (This is somewhat similar to what Eudora mail client can do.) The
reason for this is to avoid sending big messages of an expensive
satellite link, especially in case the recipient might not want to view
some big attachments anyway.
It occurred to me that Sieve "replace" from
draft-ietf-sieve-mime-loop-04.txt can almost do that. The only thing
missing is constructing an URL, which will have an
implementation/deployment specific format. One could user Sieve
variables to construct text in the replace action, but only if the exact
URL format is known in advance.
So, do people think that a variant of the replace action is reasonable?
Should there be a new ":url" option?
