Guys,
I just realised that I've pretty much NEVER deleted any message from this list, and my
Mail client says I have about 12,000 of them since dated back to March 2008.
You guys think it might be an idea to export these in some format and make them
searchable? Can I say put 12,000 text files on CHIMPY and let people use the SEARCH
command to look for specific keywords (i.e. will the performance be reasonable)?
Alternatively, I suppose I could build some quick web app for browsing/searching the mails
(authenticated of course, don't want the whole world to see our list).
Any ideas?
It's something similar that I had in mind to do at some point. My only
"problem" is that I also keep some "private" mails related to HECnet
in the same folder, so I should sort that out. I have something close to 16.000 mails in
my archive.
I think it would be nice if you did something, but I have no clear idea how it should be
done.
