- I'm starting to work on mail_append() for the c-client driver I'm
- writing here. Don't quite know who all's on this list so I'll mention
- that this corresponds the the APPEND command in an upcoming version
- of IMAP2bis.
-
- What I'm trying to figure out is how to decide what driver to call.
- Mail_append() is a bit of a new thing in that it is not an operation on
- an already open mailbox, the format of which known, and therefor the
- driver is known. I'm planning on passing mail_append the mailbox name
- and a string which contains the RFC-822 message. Seems like the choices
- are:
-
- - Just pass it the mailbox name and the message and let it decide on the
- format of the mailbox either based on a default, or based on the format
- of the existing mailbox if it exists. Would have to default if it didn't
- exist.
-
- - Pass it a stream of some other open mailbox to serve to indicate the
- format of the mailbox.
-
- - Some other way, indicate the format of the mailbox
-
- I'll probably pick #2 for now since it's easy and there's not much code
- involved in any of these options. I'm mainly sending this message to see
- if anyone has any immediate ideas or plans.
