Has anyone tried this? I'd like to be able to pull out and possibly

could click on URLs to bring up articles that intereset them. since
I've already got the articles in mhonarc, extending it seems like a
perfect thing -- but I need to be able to programmatically get, say,
"subject/author/URL" for all messages posted in the last "N" seconds
(or minutes, or hours. Basically, since a previous timestamp). then
format and mail the ToC.
any thoughts on whether this is practical?
Practical and not difficult. Merely have MHonArc produce a data
index, and then post-process that index to generate your digest
version.
