The one feature that is lacking (I think --gotta check again; didn't find
it on my first pass) in the "search/get" protocol is for the listproc
to return only the specific messages which contain the target text;
as I currently understand it, listproc can only be asked to return the
entire file (i.e., the monthly log, which is generally huge, and contains
all of the irrelevant messages as well).

I.e., "search" returns the lines which contain the target text;
"get" " " logs " " " " " ;

We also want something like "getmsg", which will return only the messages.

Anyone find that kind of functionality in listproc? (It is in LISTSERV)
