Further improvements are to parse the documents into rfc822 Messages (probably with a ZClass), index all interesting attributes (date, author, etc), and impliment a simple ZPublisher.Client script that mailman calls to 'push' a message up to the server, instanciate a new message object, and incrimentaly index it in the Catalog.
Hmmm! Whaddayaknow! this is exactly what I've been working on! I've been planning out a product called MessageBase to do this. I'm sketching out the Message class right now. I'm planning on it having full MIME suport. (one of the things I have gotten done so far is an imporved version of python's mimetools module thast is actually compliant to the MIME RFC's)
Check www.mutt.org -- the Mutt mailer, which IIRC is GPL, makes a point of strict MIME compliance, and while the code is not in Python, it might still be useful. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
