Description:

Mailbot is a simple mail request system for RISC-OS machines running KA9Q.
Using its own script language you can define 'botboxes', mailboxes on your
system which respond to all messages with a set reply. Typically Mailbot
can be used as a finger replacement on non-24hr systems, or as an automatic
mail response system for sales literature etc.

Features include :
 *  Unlimited number of responses per request.
 *  Allows triggering of external programs and commands.
 *  Header & Footer facility (new to 1.10).
 *  Mail loop protection.
 *  Logging option.
 *  User exclusion facility.

Mailbot will work with any RISC-OS KA9Q system, and works independantly
from any mailers or debatchers.
