 KR> i think that you would find that rmail does.

  I don't have a clue how rmail does it, and with respect neither do
you, without the source code. 

  I was trying to make a point for John. Mail comes in packets that
include transit information, and before it can be read and replied to,
it has to be processed into database form. Any real engineer would
see this, and send the mail in already-acceptable database form. Then
everyone would use the same database and mail could be read directly.
Mail has to be tossed, so it might as well be tossed in the right
direction.

  Of course, this is too much to hope for when uniwankers are running
the system... but when they add fuckups on fuckups, like the cunbatch
line to an-already compressed file, it goes too far for even a poor old
fourth-rate engineer like me. Naturally, it makes sense to uniwankers.

Regards,
Bob
