I've been hanging around this list for about a week now and I've found so many goodies floating by here, it's terrific. I think I have folder hooks sorted out, I've learned some really slick procmail stuff, and post.el makes emacs look as gorgeous editing mail as it is at mangling scripts.
Despite the occasional digression into things like pgp/gpg, this is probably the best signal to noise ratio I've seen in a mailing list. So thanks all. You've been very helpful. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. TopQuark Software & Serv. Contract programmer, server bum.
