Research direction

Start by locating the ptx_freshstuff script and reading how announcements are sent to a PM window. Verify the timing behavior around consecutive announcements, then implement a separator containing the date and time after 10 minutes without new content; done means the separator is not inserted between announcements within that interval.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When new stuff get announced it can sometimes be hard to see what is new if new stuff get sent to a PM window.

So, it would be very helpful if there could be a separator between the announces to make it easier to see the latest announced stuff.

The separator should not be added between every stuff it announce. If nothing new has been announced for 10 minutes a separator should be added with date and time. This make it much easier to see the latest stuff that have been announced.
