1952094 - Stop using detached nsIMsgDBHdr objects

Status: ASSIGNED

(MailNews Core :: Database, task)

Description

[Ben Campbell]

Mork supports the concept of detached rows, so you can create a row, populate it with data and then add it to the database.
This is used when adding new message entries to the DB: a detached nsIMsgDBHdr object is created, populated with data, then attached to the message table in the database.
This is rather a pain for a msgDB implemented on top of sqlite (i.e. a globaldb).

So it'd be much better to just have a function that lets us pass in the raw data we want for the message, and return a new, already-populated nsIMsgDBHdr object. This'd still work fine for the existing database, and would make the globaldb much easier.

This patch adds a raw data struct to let the caller create a message without
using a detached nsIMsgDBHdr.
