I've once in a while thought about creating a new protocol to make
things like these easier. So it wouldn't attempt to replace IMAP (at
least initially :) but rather make scripting a lot easier. Perhaps the
syntax could be something similar to a programming language. Like:
list("" "*") > ($box) (
select($box)
search(header Disposition-Notification-To "") > ($msg) (
store($msg + "$MDNSent")
fetch($msg header subject)
)
)
Hmm. Or I don't know. Anyone have some great ideas? :) Ideally it should
be something command/event-oriented like IMAP, but with ability to pipe
command results to other commands (but without allowing infinite loops).
