Interesting that you mention that.  I retired last year.  I haven't written a 
line of code in over a year.  Crazy!

Things got out of hand with email for me, I have accounts with Microsoft, 
Apple, Google, and three domain providers.  I'm hoping to figure out some way 
to mirror everything to my local linux box and use nmh and other unix tools 
again.  Once I'm happy with the mirror, I figure I'll delete everything online 
and start pulling everything to my local box and only deal with it there.

Anway, I'm sure I'll have a few cycles that I can devote to documentation...

This seems like the sort of thing that should be possible to automate, and
that question has been raised before.  A quick search turned up the
following, among others:
