Hi all!
I am a new rebol user, and would bennefit from the wisdom of someone more
rebol-savvy...
Currently I am subscribed to a mailing list [it runs on EZELM], I need to
develop a script that can request specific message numbers (all of them -
eventually, in batches of 100). Once the messages have been requested, I'll
need to go in and retrieve them. When they arrive, the messages themselves
are 'attached' to a message describing the scope of the request. SO, I need
to save the attached messages 1 by 1 using their appropriate message number.
Next, I need to pull a few lines out of each message header, and finally I
need to transform the messages to into html files [filtering special
characters which will hose the html tags: no ][<> etc]. Last, all these
messages need to be loaded into a database - for searching by keyword. Oh -
I almost forgot -- this all needs to be done with all NEW messages as
they're posted to the list too.
Has anyone out there attempted this type of thing??
Please lemme know!!

p.s. This transforms a 'mailing list' into a searchable knowledge-base of
information -- which could be really useful for THIS mail list too!
