Re: [ba-ohs-talk] Keyword Indexing to Improve Email and IT
We could easily hack the majordomo/mhonarc combination
so that it did know the URL ahead of time. (01)
The way to do this is: (02)
Adjust the alias for the list to mail to a program
which is a mail message processor, and it pushs
the message into mhonarc, gets the URL and then
filters the message. Then sends it on to the list. (03)
This is probably less interesting that moving to mailman. but
would have less social impact. (04)
