Since we can't use maxuid for remote externals, automatically maintaining the last time we got results and appending a dt: range to the query will prevent HTTP(S) responses from getting too big. We could be using "rt:", but no stable release of public-inbox supports it, yet, so we'll use dt:, instead. By default, there's a two day fudge factor to account for MTA downtime and delays; which is hopefully enough. The fudge factor may be changed per-invocation with the --remote-fudge-factor=INTERVAL option Since different externals can have different message transport routes, "lastresult" entries are stored on a per-external basis.
