This is what Richard wrote some minutes ago, by having the same interfaces in the userland impl. the user get "fast and native" parsing if he has the extension, otherwise he will get a "not fast but also ok" userland implementation. You could test this during runtime and the user has no problems... >With this statement you can avoid that people think >"Oh, PHP can't parse mails natively" etc. the normal guy probably wont even recognice if its an extension or not, he only does if there is a 5 megabyte email waiting to be parsed :)) (to keep the example of the mime decoding class) -- Marc Logemann (aka Loge, www.marc-logemann.de)
