I've created a module that makes the commands ns_returnbinary and
ns_writebinary for AOLServer. It can be downloaded at
http://www.vorteon.com/download/.
(Thanks Vinod, I couldn't have accomplished this without your code
to learn from)
I've had some success with returning images and binary files out of
mime encoded message files using the reformime utility from
sqwebmail and the tcl exec command with ns_returnbinary and
ns_writebinary. I'm still working on doing the same thing from C.
(I'm new to C though. This could take a while)
I think webmail should store messages in the file system but store
information about mime sections/ attachments in the database along
with the text/plain or text/html section for easy searching.
I'd like to see the system coexist with pop and imap as well and I
think the maildir storage method would cover all my requirements.
