haha. I wonder which property of that single MailHost object you
probably use you want to catalog and what exactly would be your
Query to the ZCatalog, once you want to find out...

Speaking of code: did you think about my hint? I mean the one with
the loop - if you have the weird notion you need to make anything
catalogaware, why dont you write a product which iterates over
all other products in zope, and if not catalogaware, generate
a generic catalogaware subclass for you?

Heaven, you could even half way finished by the tiem you feed the thread :-)
