Indeed, I cannot read some of the old messages due to rotten cookies... But to stay on topic, I think it is wrong to build any special parsing into ifile (like MIME, headers, signatures, etc.). I think that such a job should be carried out by other (small) programs designed for that purpose (ie., the Unix way). Rationale: such small programs can be used by other programs, and when standards change, there is just one place to adapt that change. I am new to ifile, so it might be complete gibberish, but is it not possible to let the above small programs separate each email into a number of parts, and then pass each of these parts to ifile but using different databases, thereby achieving what you want?

I am making a Debian GNU/Linux package containing ifile and the Grant Taylor procmail interfacing stuff. (By the way, the Grant Taylor link on the ifile web page is not working.) I will put the gnus stuff into the Debian package, as well, if you don't mind.
