ALl,
Well people, attached is the first attempt, this code works for the SORT
options required for my customers webmail system it will need some
enhancment to fully follow the rfc draft for the SORT extention, It does
subject,to,cc,from and arrival. Arrival was the easiest so it works
perfectly, the others involved a new merge sort I added to list.c and
obviously pulling all the headers in a mailbox which blows as far as
performance. I would like to warn everyone while this code works it is no
where near ready to go into any environment without a lot more help. But
I needed to get it going so here it is.
Please feel free to help/give comments and sugestions. For this first
version I used a high perfomance merge sort I found with a relativly
compatible grant on the licence. If anyone has a singly-link list merge
sort or other better performing sort that is compatiable with the list.c
code I would like to see options.
A requirment for the sorting of header fields is the header caching I
don't see this working with any kind of speed without it.
Thanks,
Leif
p.s. a sample of the sort commands I used for testing would be....
A001 LOGIN "username" "password"
A002 select "INBOX"
A003 SORT (ARRIVAL) ISO-8859-1 ALL
