[gmime-devel] Putting GMime into Bongo

[Alex Hudson <alex bongo-project org>]

Hi GMime people,

I'm interested in using GMime in the Bongo Project server 
(http://www.bongo-project.org/ - slowly trying to make what was Hula 
actually a reality ;), and I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on the 
subject.

At the moment, we've inherited some RFC 2822/MIME/etc. parsers which 
mostly work but aren't the kind of code I sleep happily at night about. 
Occasionally, it breaks and mis-parses a mail somewhere, leading to 
things like empty Senders in IMAP clients. I've downloaded and looked at 
GMime, and it's much better.

Is GMime suitable for use in long-lived daemons, and are there any 
examples of people using it already? Or would we be treading new ground 
if we went this route? Are there any reasons why we might not want to 
use GMime?

Thanks,

Alex.
