And I was feeling bad because I was still using a 3.7-image! (Own dog
food etc.)  ;-)

Good idea. However, I believe that is one of those things for which the
current implementation is too slow given 175000 messages.

Does that mean that Daniel has given up? What a pity! Better than
nothing, though! We can definitely build on that!

My short term goals are much more modest:
1. Make Celeste work again in 3.9. That means at least:
- Use StandardFileStream where appropriate.
- Fix the bug where a subject contains a CR which corrupts the index
file.
- Use 32 bits instead of 16 bits for the message ids in the category
file.
2. Find at least one fellow user who usese the same code base than me
and wants to stay there. ;-)
3. Find some people to discuss various Celeste design issues with.

Cheers,
Bernhard

P.S. By the way, are you aware of Mantis 2912?
