[SLUG] another idea about this list

["Dave Kempe" <david@nospam.solutionsfirst.net>]

Yeah well as I was having my morning shower I had another idea about this
list, so it might be really shithouse... but here goes.

Why not have the mailing list set the reply address of the list (or even the
only address of the list) to one that is retrieved by a perl/php script and
parsed into a mysql database?
This strikes me as the most powerful way to handle the problem of list
archiveing and indexing. Then we can have all the flexibility of a
datadriven source to power our list. Then we can make the mailbot script add
uniquie ids to the list, have it recognise threads (%age similar subject i
spose), easily searchable much more powerful.
Only downside is the storage problem i spose :( as in who has the resources
to donate to our worthy cause?
I'm sure there are many gurus willing to help write a very powerful
script...

Just a thought,


dave
