I installed a dryer heat diverter last winter and it definitely helps warm and humidify the house - Winter Heat from a Clothes Dryer | EcoNewMexico.com. During the spring/summer/fall I flip the lever back to vent outside and I use our clothesline most of the time.

We do the same thing with our electric dryer. Used to have problems with dusty lint when we had just a screen on the output. Now I have a different design that uses a nylon sock-like filter. Seems to work better. I've seen types that have a water filled box at the output for lint catching but haven't tried one.
