No no no no no. I meant (something like) this of course:


unsigned char *sstart = (uchar*)mmap(..), *istart = (uchar*)mmap(..);
#define AMOUNT_OF_OFFSETS_PER_RECORD 4
#define AOO AMOUNT_OF_OFFSETS_PER_RECORD

from = sstart + *(istart + ((sizeof (uint32_t) * AOO * n) + sizeof (uint32_t)))
subject = sstart + *(istart + ((sizeof (uint32_t) * AOO * n) + sizeof (uint32_t)))
to = sstart + *(istart + ((sizeof (uint32_t) * AOO * n) + sizeof (uint32_t)))
flags = sstart + *(istart + ((sizeof (uint32_t) * AOO * n) + sizeof (uint32_t)))

To much pointers in my head ;)
