[JDEV] request for ideas: RFC822 to JID mapping

[nick]

Jsmtp v2 is written in perl (i know i know...) that is pretty much 
finished. most importnt goals in this project are to provide a 
<message/> based interface for the jabber user that allows them to 
receive headers(my kinda headers like message id, size of message, size 
of attachment[s]), messages and message attachments through http file 
transfer (sending iq:oob with a contructed url). This release just 
contains the <message/> interface, next release will have an iq:rpc API 
that will enable basically a jabber only speaking mail client, and also 
support outgoing attachments. Beyond that, im not sure. I am focusing 
mainly on ascii stuff, i havent really considered unicode but im pretty 
sure that (especially in perl) it will be fairly trivial to convert 
(Unicode support is built in with other unicode modules such as 
Unicode::String) but yes, the main problem is jids being too long, in 
some cases you may just hafta flat out tell the user to buzz off and get 
a shorter jid, to be able to use the transport, which is lame i agree, 
but unless someone can point me to condensing 256 bytes into 64, it will 
just have to be "Go away, or I will taunt thee a second time-ah"

PS.  ACK! note to self, make sure moz is pointed to real mail server and 
not jsmtp v2 :)
