slrn Usenet Digest patch

Introduction

In the Usenet exist certain newsgroups where everybody can submit funny articles somebody posted in another newsgroup. Those articles are then read by a moderator, and if they're really funny, they're posted to the newsgroup. There are several of those groups, e.g. alt.humor.best-of-usenet, de.alt.netdigest, at.usenet.schmankerl, and many more.

Usually, these groups have quite strict rules on how to submit articles. They must be formatted in a special way, the subject must be modified (i.e. something like [the.news.group] must be prepended), only certain headers should show up, etc. That's why I wrote a patch to slrn and a simple S-Lang script which makes this much easier: the patch adds a new option for .slrnrc to enable the subject modification, and the S-Lang script (included with a interpret "forward.sl") cares for the correct headers to show up at the top of the message.
