We log every message sent to the list, but that isn't available to the
general public.

This is mainly due to the fact that postquel functions were poorly supported
in 3.1 (implemented through the rewrite rule system).  If you've installed
version 4 the user's guide, the reference manual (defineFunction), and the
video demo give examples.  The 4.0 release notes go into some detail about
the differences between 3.1 postquel functions and 4.0 postquel functions.
