Hi,
I am wondering what (if any) method there is for identifying the end of 
one PR and the start of the next when gnatsd responds to a query.  In my 
testing I've set the query format to 'edit'.  I'm using 4.1.0.  The 
dbconfig is almost out-of-the-box with the exception of a couple fields 
I added.  In particular I added a field called foobar at the end.
field "foobar" {
    description "Random information field"
    multitext
}
So that I can attempt to confuse/test schemes to identify the end of a 
PR.  In my test database I have three PRs.  In the second PR I've set 
the value of the foobar field to this (next 3 line):
This is foo bar

From: robert
Here is the result of a QUER command (actually this is just the few 
lines at the end of PR #2 and the start of #3, next 11 lines):
 >foobar:
This is foo bar

From: robert

From: robert
Reply-To: robert
To: bugs
Subject: This is a test pr

 >Number:         3
So it appears I can replicate the mail headers in a multitext field at 
the end of the PR in such a way as to not be able to identify where the 
next PR starts.

So finally to the question, how do others go about parsing the results 
of a QUER?

Thanks,
Robert Petersen
