The jwz-enhanced GNUS that was standard with XEmacs until 19.13(12?)
had a messaging function that tried not to call 'message if messages
occured too close to each other.  I do not recollect if it was based
on time or print-nth-message, but you might look it up if you have 
access to that version of GNUS.
