Great, glad to hear it. I must say, your first guess was pretty good.
Oh yeah, one more item for the wishlist:
* Access to the message ID. Right now I'm seeking to the start
of the -D file, reading the first 16 bytes, and then returning
to the start of the message. *blechh* I didn't miss something
in the docs, did I?
(Oh, the rationale? For spam corpus collection, I added code to the
local_scan() on python.org to save every single incoming message,
regardless of whether it's spam or a virus or real mail or whatever.
Each message is saved to a Maildir, using the Exim message ID as the
unique component, because I like short, uniform, sortable filenames.)
