Not sure if this is still working these days, but I have AutoSend setup to send
the past 5 or 10 messages when someone subscribes (whatever the max setting in
AutoSend allows).

That was always a great feature in AutoSend which if I could get it to compile,
I could edit the limits to be way higher than that number.
