Namazu Developers,

(BHow stable (i.e. unlikely to change) are the formats of the NMZ.*
(Bfiles?  Especially, the NMZ.field.* files?  Also is there (English)
(Bdocumentation on the format of the NMZ.*.i files?
(B
(BThe reason I ask is that I desire to have a CGI program that
(Bthat will support a persistent URL to an archived email message
(Bbased upon message-id.  To achieve this, I need to retrieve the
(Bfull filesystem pathname along with the URL to the file.
(B
(B(Using namazu.cgi is not good enough since a message-id search always
(B takes you to a results page instead of to the HTML page directly.)
(B
(BI would like to use the namazu search interface, but prefer to avoid
(Bdoing a shell call.  Plus, I do not know off hand how to get namazu
(Bto format the output into an easily parsed format for the CGI program
(Bto read.
(B
(BWhat I have currently done is access the NMZ.field.message-id and
(BNMZ.field.uri files directly, and parse the .namazurc file to apply the
(BReplace settings to the uri.  I sequently scan NMZ.field.message-id to
(Bfind the message-id and then use the line number to extract the uri to
(Bthe message from NMZ.field.uri.  It seems it could be possible to avoid
(Bthe sequential scan of NMZ.field.uri by utilizing NMZ.field.uri.i,
(Bbut I do not know the format of this file and if it will be easy to
(Buse via Perl.
