Subject: scan for author and take action
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:20:32 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87abovpbgf.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

This question is about News not mail.

I want to scan a group for certain author and take action on messages
found. 

We have all kinds of ways to direct scoring like above but I want to
use those mechanisms to scan and take actions automatically.

Maybe thru Group Params or whatever but I have no idea how to even start
with the necessary lisp code to do this.

I wondered if it isn't already done, either in gnus as it is or addon
packages.

Even better might be to use the split methods against News as well as
mail but in the case of news just send a copy to the destination and
newsgroups would not be affected.   Somehow get in the middle of the
NNTP stream and split as desired.

Is this likely to be overwhelmingly complicated for a heavily lisp
impared but long term gnus user?
