[Flnews] Do you do post-processing?

Good morning
is anybody interested in post-processor scripts and -programs for the FLNews newsreader?
I will not present my own program (yet again) but would be interested in
seeing other solutions, if they are susceptible to be understood by myself ;)
The reasons are manifold, just two of my motivations :
*) My own program suffers from unforeseen difficulties. When I have resolved a problem, like:
- signatures are preceding a list of references and footnotes instead of ending
the post -
I discover that an X-No-Archive header should have been applied, but is not.
It “appears” that my code is much too complicated, but I would first like to see
how anybody else is attacking similar requirements. It is probably about text-parsing and delegation of tasks among instances (architecture, if you prefer) or just about the organisation of a (frugal) script.
*) My very personal opinion is that a program which leaves user-decisions to the user and FLNews in the way it motivates my own creativity, is oftentimes less prone to bugs and unexpected behavior than many of the alternatives that I have tried in the past. Changes are less often imposed than up to me.
The mere possibility of a “post-processor” had triggered my interest in FLNews
in the first place.
