OK. In the mean time, I bought all these Python books, and ventured into
my first real program [1]. Being unhappy with all this RSS2email stuff,
and due to HEP's slow progress (and it being to large to wrap my peanut
brain around it to help it move forward anythig faster), I wrote [2] a
little application which goes fetching the recent changes across XMLRPC
from the Wiki, diffs when possible, and sends the result as an email.
All wrapped in a crontab script. It sounds much more glorious than it
is, really.
Given the fact I can now really control what it does, suggestions w.r.t.
mail headers are very much welcome. The script runs hourly (if all goes
well ;-)
Thanks for the challenge, Sylvain!
