In= my use case, I need to send an automated e-mail once per week. But I can i= magine other use cases, such as downloading online science data or managing= log files. I was wondering if it might be helpful to have some kind of helper function= available in timer.el (and documented in the manual) that would make this = easier. Here is the one I am using: http://gem.librehacker.com/gemlog/starlog/20240723-0.gmi Or perhaps, alternatively, there would be some appropriate adjustment to th= e run-at-time interface...? --=20 =F0=9F=93=9B Christopher Howard =F0=9F=9A=80 gemini://gem.librehacker.com =F0=9F=8C=90 http://gem.librehacker.com =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90=D7=A9=D7=99=D7=AA =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90 =D7=90=D7=9C=D7=94= =D7=99=D7=9D =D7=90=D7=AA =D7=94=D7=A9=D7=9E=D7=99=D7=9D =D7=95=D7=90=D7=AA= =D7=94=D7=90=D7=A8=D7=A5
