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. ; To: ding@gnus.org ; Subject: Re: Song of Programming ; References: ; From: Harry Putnam ; Date: 04 Jul 1999 04:50:10 -0700 ; In-Reply-To: Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen's message of "04 Jul 1999 09:27:22 +0200" ; Message-ID: ; Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen writes: ; > Harry Putnam writes: ; > ; > > I sense that I'm missing out on some nice functionality.
