Hi Ken,
MIME breaks this. If all textual parts were stored in UTF-8 on disk
things would improve once again. Perhaps even a mail/inbox/42 for a
UTF-8 summary of the email, headers and the body laid out as text
where possible, and a mail/inbox/42/... with the headers and each
part as a separate file, including sub-directories where needed,
e.g. ~/mail/inbox/42/foo.png exists. Plan 9 had something along
these lines. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/4/upasfs
I thought about breaking up the MIME parts, but I decided that the
problem with that was that I believe there is value to still having
the original message around.
You're right, there is. In regurgitating long ago thoughts I ommitted
that bit. It could be available under a path that was easily excluded
at the command line.
Cheers, Ralph.
