An archiver which can handle extremely large amounts of email.
10
It is fast, intuitive, and customizable.
13
- Full field *fast* searching
14
This allows searches like "find me all messages with foo and bar in
15
the body, and beer in the subject in this date range" and much more.
17
- Chronological threading
18
Every other package with threaded-view breaks the arrival order of
19
messages in order to display linkage. Often, they also indent quite
20
deeply and eventually break when people reply back and forth enough
21
times. Lurker uses a different approach which not only preserves
22
arrival order, but also does not nest so deeply that it fails when
23
the replies are too deep. Plus, it's prettier. :-)
25
- Message threading navigation
26
Lurker has a handy navigation graphic available in each message
27
which allows a user to easily see and move between messages that
30
- File attachment support
31
Not only does lurker fully understand MIME, it makes file
32
attachments available for download and directly embeds those a
33
browser can display in the message view.
35
- Multi-lingual support
36
Lurker uses utf-8 and can therefore support chinese characters in
37
the same page as german. Further, it is easily localized with
38
translations already available for English, German, and Japanese.
40
- Cache files available directly to the web server
41
Instead of generating each page dynamically, lurker operates as an
42
error document and creates missing pages on the fly. These pages
43
are then available direct to the server for later requests. This
44
scheme allows lurker to survive a slashdotting more easily since
45
the pages do not need to be rerendered each time.
47
- Completely customizable output
48
Lurker outputs XML which is formatted via XSLT. If a site wishes to
49
simply change the formatting, colours, or graphics, it need merely
50
change the stylesheet (or choose an existing alternative). If the
51
site needs to make actual structural changes, this is as easy as
52
editing the xsl used to render the html. Further, if browsers
53
support it, lurker will transmit the gzipped xml directly thus
54
reducing bandwidth usage for the heftier html.
