commander is an extensible set of scripts which will turn your email client (Mail, Entourage, PowerMail or Mailsmith) into a powerful information center, potentially cool features for your home or bussiness.
commander is a single script and its "actions" are handled by "modules", which you can edit or create from scratch to fit your needs.
Its basic functionallity is the following: the user sends an email containing instructions for commander, commander executes the action and returns a result to the user (also via email).
Some example included modules are searching flat database files or send back attached specified documents requested by the user.
Here are some key features of "commander":
"commander" is a compiled applescript.
You can use "commander" only from a rule/filter in your email client.
"commander" is supported by Mail, Entourage, Mailsmith and PowerMail.
"commander" will read the subject of incoming messages, looking for "commander?...".
If it finds the correct syntax, it will execute a "module" with the proper "parameters".
If the module is executed correctly, it will send back the sender of the message the requested info.
"commander" is extensible. You can add more modules and create your own.
"commander" acts as an information center. It receives orders by mail and returns results immediatelly.
Requirements:
Compatible mail client (Mail, Entourage, Mailsmith, PowerMail).
