Subject: How to retrieve a very old thread from ding list on gmane.emacs.gnus.general
Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2017 17:15:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86mv9580ao.fsf@local.lan> (raw)
I've downloaded upwards of 65000 posts from gmane.emacs.gnus.general
Which does not quite unearth a specific I've recently discovered I'd
like to retrieve.
65000 posts only goes back to Mar 2004. The discussion thread
happened in 1999.
All I have is a part of a message from a thread I participated in with
Larsi back in 1999. I plagiarized some of Larsi's code back then but
have not used it since probably 2002 or so... Now I cannot really
remember how it was supposed to be used.
It was about the method Lars was using to batch with gnus I think:
This is what has survived below... I'd like to get to that thread and
read the whole thing.
