Wondering if anyone has a code snippet that unwinds the list of groups
under the agent; accessable at `J C' (opens the agent buffer)
press `g' on the predicate of choice (press `p' if you need to see
all or your predicates)
And up pops a list of groups all on one line. If you have more than 3
or 4 it can be a bit taxing to read thru the list.
Since I'm a starkly illiterate elisper I wrote a primitive perl script
to do it... but wondered if any of you might have a snippet you've
kept that does that from gnus.
Being elisp challenged, I am rarely able to contribute here. So, even
at rist of being stoned by the perl community, I offer my sorry little
perl script that can be run against that list using the `alt-shift |'
command. (shell-command-on-region)
