Re: [gmime-devel] copy gmimemessage

[Kane Kim <kane isturm gmail com>]

Yeah, this is actually one of our major use cases, we have to create different copies of a message efficiently (for different recipients). Re-composing message after parsing seems to be non-trivial (keeping exactly the same structure), re-parsing message again - inefficient.

Should we add a clone function to the API for future versions?  it
sounds like that might be something commonly needed.

Kane, if you implement it outside of gmime, please consider proposing a
patch!  if you use github:
