>Somewhat. I still think it should be a plugin.
There's a problem with plugins I hadn't realized when they were originally
being advertized as the universal solution to oddball rules. The problem is
that they aren't.
Anyone can write a jive rule, if allow_user_rules is set. But nobody but the
system administrator can install a plugin. And it seems that even invocations
of a plugin aren't supposed to show up in the user_prefs file, even with
allow_user_rules. So to be useful here (for the general case, which is what
interests me) this would have to be a plugin that effectively exported a new
rule base name, and the plugin would then take a general re against that base
type.
Which is the same as inventing a new rule base type, except that not as many
people will be able to use it.
