Re: [mh] I try to include prowl - failing because LWP::Useragent kills MH

[H P. <hp...@gm...>]

I hacked together some network notification code that uses the Growl CPAN
modules to send messages to my macs. I fork the processes, so it doesn't
hang the main loop. Since prowl is a mac growl plug in, it would be
interesting to see if the Growl stuff can send to prowl (I have a iPod
touch, so this would be useful for me).

I see there is also a windows growl client, so this might be useful as an
expandible method for MH notifications.
Let me know if you're interested in looking at this. It's a bit of a kludge,
so I'd appreciate help to make it more robust. I'd also be curious if
there is additional interest in this type of functionality from others.
