I always had the impression that the message body had too variation imposed by different delivery routes for this to be very helpful: essentially the hash would be different for every file due to trailers added by mailing lists, re-encoding, stupid "external message" headers added by malicious^Wcorporate mail servers, etc... I could be wrong, maybe hashing is a useful approach, but I'd need to see some numbers to be convinced. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
