Nice!  One thing that I wish the original AutoSend would do is allow new
subscribers to get "all" the messages from the sub on the host's system.

The original version would allow up to (I think) 20 old messages in history to
go out.  These days we could say allow all with no impact in most cases.  I
keep 10k messages here per sub with no issues.
