What's wrong with grep?  Depending on the local archiving of messages there
are already many tools available on a basic Linux install to take care of
those issues.  I see no valid reason to move beyond the basics but
certainly have no problem if others wish to overbloat their systems.  Where
I see this latest build going is to provide the users here with a more
sensible approach to what they want on their local systems as opposed to
forcing them to mirror what I want as a sysop.  What I hope to accomplish
is to make offline messaging more effecient, especially with respect to
limited resources.  The node here is shooting to reduce overhead not create
it.  I see some good stuff in fidoconfig to assist in meeting that goal. 
As the sysop of the node in question I like the idea of passing the buck to
the user to determine what they want as long as what happens between the
node and the rest of the world sticks to what is known to work (network
compatibility).  What the end user wants to do on their machine is up to
them.  SQL?  Sure, why not?  That's their business.

Life is good,
Maurice
