[Cscmail-devel] SQL options

[Nothinman <no...@no...>]

I was wondering if it would ever be possible to make the SQL host a
configurable option? I know this is a little strange because now my
message bodies are local in my ~/.cscmail directory and everything else
is on the server, but do something like NFS mount /home and all my mail
is kept on the server, which is sometimes preferable =) While I'm on the
subject, are there any plans or thoughts on moving the message bodies
into the database too? I don't know how this would affect speed, but to
me it would seem like a good idea and easier to keep everything in the
same place so it's all accessed the same, etc.

Anyway, I ask this because my local install of MySQL went south recently
and the quickest and easiest solution was to intall MySQL on another
machine running Debian potato that actually works. I didn't notice much
of a speed difference, if any, so that doesn't seem like a big deal. 

The change to make it connect to a remote machine, in the DBI->connect
call, is trivial but I'm not familiar with the GTK bindings to do the
config part or I'd do up the rest of the patch and send a diff, I may
take some free time and look into figuring out the GTK stuff but don't
count on it =)
