Automated PBEM

[KiloOhm]

Hi, I'm making an automated PBEM Mailer. That is, one click will send turn to the next player instead of all the "stuff" we have to do now.

Personally I use outlook / outlook express and I can make my program work well with them, but if a lot of people use a differen't mail reader, I'll try to support that also (if I can find sufficient documentation on them). So if you want to see support for your mail reader, post it here!

This program will be able to work with ANY pbem game. I'll probably be releasing an Alpha Version this week that just mails the file to the next player.

Alpha Version - Release late this week.
-------------

• Attach and send a single file automatically (after initial setup of paths, email, etc...).
  
• Support for Outlook / Outlook Express.[/list]
  Beta Version - Release within the next month.
  ------------
  
  
  
  • Add support to automatically check for a new turn.
    
  • Zip Files
    
  • Add support for other mail readers (if possible)
    
  • more???[/list]
    I'll also release the source after I get through BETA so other people can build on it. I'm doing it in Java, with microsoft language extentions (you'll need to have the microsoft Virtual Machine installed that comes with Internet Explorer 4+).
