Hpaste.el

hpaste.el is an Emacs Lisp library that integrates hpaste into Emacs. It provides three functions: hpaste-paste-region and hpaste-paste-buffer send the region or buffer to the hpaste server as required, and hpaste-get-paste fetches a paste from the server and puts it in a new buffer. It allows annotation of existing pastes, controls the announcement on #haskell, and tries to be smart about keeping track of the last paste to ease annotation. Most things are customisable: do M-x customize and browse to the Hpaste group to see what you can change. Code is available under the GPL license. (see the talk page for a makefile allowing you to keep up-to-date on this programatically).

This file is also hosted in git here, where I've (andrewsw) been doing some work on it. Enjoy!
