   Any posts that interest me, along with the updates that I've posted, are kept   
   locally in Opera Mail.   
   For updates, I copy the text of the message and modify the part that needs it.   
   Like today, there are some programs I've never posted.   
   Gathering the information for those is not automatic, but it takes much less   
   time than it used to.   
   All the messages that I intend to post are in the Drafts view, and selecting   
   and posting each of them takes me less than a minute.   
   Thanks for asking. :)
