I spent the day at home today, not feeling well. Being stuck at home I
had a chance to catch up on some things, including cleaning out my
email Inbox, which unearthed a few messages that I need to reply to but
had forgotten about. So if you've sent me a message in the past month
and haven't heard back, you should soon. I've got 19 pending items in
by Inbox at the moment, and I hope to get that down to < 10 before I
go to bed.
Also today I wrote a little program, yarncopy.py,
which uses Yarn to copy messages from one location to another. It's
just a little script, 118 lines of code, but since it's based on Yarn
it can work with lots of different formats and protocols. You can do fetchmail-type things:
It will prompt you for user names and passwords as necessary. Right
now it copies every message, every time, which limits its usefulness,
but with some more work I think it has the potential to become quite a
powerful tool.
