Hmm.  I should look at that.  I mostly just snag the one that's in the
postgresql SRPM...

Yeah, but it also doesn't mention that you have to run it in a transaction
either.  It sounds like it's documented somwhere, but I just greped through
the user guide and don't see a mention of "locreate", "getlo" or "loimport"
in it.

I'm not really that interested in it.  Evelyn and I wrote this "Mail2DB"
thing over dinner one night (design, development, and released at a
restraunt -- love wireless IP :-).

One of the folks who was interested in it wanted the entire message stored
in the database in an LO.  I told him "good luck".  :-)  My version
just stores header information in the DB and the messages themselves
are stored in the filesystem.  Should make them easy to compress, eh?
