Hey, that's twice in one year! I stand corrected. So, here's the script 
that generates that email:

-------
#!/bin/bash

export day=`date +"%d"`
export month=`date +"%B"`
mon=`date +"%m"`
export year=`date +"%Y"`

thurs=`cal $mon $year | head -6 | tail -1 | cut -f 5 -d " "`
nthurs=$(( $day + 3 ))
export thurs

if [ $nthurs = $thurs ]
then
  ./subst.pl < template | mail -s "CLUG meeting $thurs $month $year" mikal
else
  echo "nothing" | mail mikal
fi
-----

As a challenge, anyone care to fix it so that months with no Thursday on 
the first line don't cause this bug?

Cheers,
Mikal
