Hi William,
Excerpts from William Morgan's message of 2012-02-23 07:25:11 +0100:

Well, I guess you are correct. So, when somebody sends me a spam email or a
malicious email with a faked date, what happens? I think that the code will
figure out it needs to re-add a lot of messages. Also, my index will need to be
reordered, right?
Also, what happens when somebody sends me a message with a faked date and I add
it using heliotrope-add? Do I need to reorder my index?

That makes it sound like it’s just a matter of opinion. My concern is what I
stated above (huge processing load / disk IO caused by malicious messages) and
that it thrashes my poor disks.
Best regards,
Michael
