I'm not sure if I was clear, but the details of the database schema or
message insertion/retrieval is not what I meant by support. I was
wondering if mutt provides a mechanism analogous to query_command's
usage in managing/viewing addresses that I could use to manage and
view messages stored in a database. If so, I was wondering if someone
has already created such an add-on that I could tailor to my
environment. If not, I was wondering how I would have to hack mutt's
pager, viewer, etc. to get it to handle messages I've put into a DB.
I can write the code to insert messages into a DB and retrieve them no
problem. What I am wondering is how I would have to modify mutt to
read and manage these messages as if they were stored in ordinary
files.
