while(<binkd>)
{
# date parsing code was here
@diff=Delta_DHMS(@binkdate,@today) if /(\[\d+\])/;
print $trimmed $_ if $diff[0] < $ARGV[1] && defined(@diff);
next if defined(@diff);
print $trimmed $_ if ! /(\[\d+\])/;
undef(@diff);
}
It looks like this could be simplified to:
while(<binkd>)
{
# date parsing code was here
if /(\[\d+\])/ then
diff = Delta_DHMS(@binkdate,@today);
print $trimmed $_ if diff[0] < $ARGV[1];
next;
else
print $trimmed $_;
end
}
I guess I still don't see the need to define an instance variable
and then undefined it.
BTW, why do all of your posts have a subject line of "undefine" on
the mailing list?

as an OT aside: i'm not using a newsreader, i'm on the mailing list,
so it would be my email client doing that (most can be set to strip
re:'s to avoid them piling up.
someone should correct me if i'm wrong, but don't all relatively
compliant newsreaders and and clients go by a message id for
threading and NOT the subject line?
subject kept intact for example of why i strip them.

Okay, I don't know alot about Windows email clients -- I was
under the impression that Forte Agent was a news reader. I see
now that it also supports mail as well...

Heh, well...assuming your client supports message threading
(which mine does, as does yours...). I suspect it just makes it
confusing for those who use clients which don't thread
messages. (i.e. Outlook, Outlook Express)

I guess I'm used to having a sane client which only adds the
"Re: " if it doesn't already exist.

Yes, they do.

I only see one 'Re: ' in your subject line (or in any of the subject lines here), so I assume that by "piling up" you meant that all responding messages have "Re: "'s in them. This is actually the standard practice, only the original post is devoid of the "Re: " at the beginning.
It can be especially helpful when sometimes posts are not delivered in the order they are sent, since you can always easily find the starting point of a thread. I have been having to do this lately, since the gateway has had some hiccoughs that make sorting by either "date received" or "date sent" unreliable.
HTH,

Outlook Express maintains mail & news in databases with
dual index trees (flat & threaded).
<Alt>VVG is a [V]ery, [V]ery [G]ood way to switch views.
(View | Current View | Group Messages by Conversation)
Also, clicking the title bar sorts the messages which can
be useful to find all posts from one sender. For correct
threading, this is best left on "Sent" (date). Click
"Sent" bar again to toggle ascending/descending date.

I don't know how much better than *correct* threading can be.

What I believe Josh meant isn't threading as in real threads, but the subject line. It's kinda annoying when people's clients don't add the "Re: " header by default.
To note: The thread for this topic ('undefine') loooks like this
