Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Just nice to have. After adding a blacklist or watchlist entry, I think it would be nice to be able to confirm if a past post would be caught or not, and for what, with similar output to the test-* commands. It also would help with old posts found with an MS search, to check what (or if) they'd be caught for today.

Describe the solution you'd like

!!/test-ms https://metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/...

would do the equivalent to:

  • run test-t site=<site> <post title>
  • run test-q site=<site> <post body> if it was a question
  • run test-a site=<site> <post body> if it was an answer
  • run test-u site=<site> <poster username>

Maybe the output could include a direct MS link.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've thought about creating command line scripts I could run to do something similar, to create a JSON and pass to test-json. I think having it be public on Charcoal HQ, without a long JSON string, would be ideal, so other members could easily see the success or failure. Plus, many posts are too big to fit within chat message limits.

Currently when I wonder things like this, I try to guess which text from the post might be relevant, and copy and paste into a test or bisect command. A test-ms command would be quicker and more accurate.
