Re: [PATCH] better header cache versioning



On Wednesday, April  4 at 03:23 PM, quoth Brendan Cully:
Here's a patch that attempts to version the header cache more
accurately. It uses a little script to extract the type definitions
for the structures hcache saves, pipes them through an MD5, and uses
an unsigned long's worth of the result as a CRC.

Comments?

When it detects that the cache is outdated, does it delete it and create a new one, or does it still silently ignore the cache (requiring the user to guess why mutt is suddenly slower)?
