[SM-PLUGINS] Archive Mail plugin 'adopted' (second post)

[Prof. M. G. <mic...@li...>]

Hello all!

I realize I might sound old dated, but I recently took the matter of
updating the old Archive Mail plugin (originally by Jimmy Conner) in my hands,
and I think I am almost finished. The plugin works well under SM 1.5.2 SVN,
which I am currently running in my school.

Some parts of the code are certainly quite obsolete (especially the
compression and format stuff), but, like they say 'don't fix it if it ain't
broken', and as a matter of fact it's working as it is.

I introduced a limit on the number of files that can be archived (only 500 to
avoid the plugin to consume all or almost the server resources).

I do not certainly claim that my work is done: the plugin is not backward
comptible with "stable" 1.4.x, but I could use some help to polish it out and
finish it.

If anyone is interested, I'd love to share the new code I wrote,
and I am quit open to the idea of a renewal of the compression code, which is,
like I said, pretty rough.

Thank you all in advance for your attention.

M.G.

P.S.: I apologize for the double posting. It was the result of the unhappy
attempt to adapt the html_mail plugin to work with SM 1.5.2 ;-)
