Yes, but almost every snippet is edited before it is added... if only to 
add some headers. But I also like to test snippets if possible, before they 
are actually uploaded. So automating this process won't be easy. I intend 
it to be more than just an archive of messages with code.

Thanks for the offer, I'll certainly consider it. First I'll figure out 
what to do with the site, though.
