Follow-up Comment #1, sr #106712 (project administration):

Hi,

I have always found this very interesting (sending a mail with instructions
to one machine), but probably i don't have the required skills to accomplish
it either ;)

Anyway we could think about the requirements of the application. For the mail
message to be understood, i think that it must have a well defined, and
therefore recognizable, structure. That is, only well-formed messages could be
parsed and understood. In my opinion this leads to the rejection of most kinds
of spam, if the rules avoid tokens like 'viagra' or 'enlarge' :). But has the
side effect of make more dificult the creation of messages: the sender has to
be aware of the rules, and must compose the message following them. I don't
know if it could be possible to develop a kind of mode in emacs for this to be
done.

This reminds me of the debian's 'reportbug' utility, i'm not very familiar
with it but as far as i know it asks you some questions about the request and
finally sends a well-formed mail message with the required structure to be
understood by the receiving system, please correct me if i'm wrong.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Federico
