Re: Message Summaries

[Ilan Shalif <gshalif@netvision.net.il>]

Look at http://ainfos.ca/en/indiez.html

It is done by a Perl program that is called
whenever a new post is archived by the Mhonarc
in a specific archive.

(This is done by an internal message of the postfix aliases
that activate it - using a pipe 'xxxxxx: "|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx.pl"')

The number of lines of the body of posts was chosen to be
a specific one.

It can be changed to be based on a specific number of characters,
words, etc. and not to take into acount repetitive chars like '-', '&' etc.
