Also - it would be good to keep the summary format the same on
both 32/64 platforms (and even different-endian), so I can maintain
one ~/.tinymail no matter what I use (this is a real issue on
AMD64, where you can run 32-bit and 64 programs at the same time).
BTW, wild other idea, what about using, say, SQLite for storing the
summary information? I think that could save us from a lot of
error-prone lowlevel hacking (think about row-level locking)
and make debugging easier. I am not sure about the memory/speed
tradeoffs.
Best wishes,
Dirk.
