Hilary Mason: How to Replace Yourself with a Very Small Shell Script

I put all of the auto-generated e-mails in my drafts folder, so I can edit, modify, or delete before I send on a case by case basis.

There's also a whitelist.

I'll release the code as soon as I disentangle my personal data from it. Patches welcome. :-)

That is a great way to actually use the drafts folder, looking forward to the code so I can put that to use.

That's cool. I got the impression that it was communicating with people on the fly with little/no oversight.

Initially it did, but that went wrong a few too many times. :-)

Your way is much simpler. I was building an AI to handle all my emails but it turned out to be a lot harder than I had originally envisioned.

Thanks!

I'm trying to use the model of the unix command line -- each script is useful and simple on its own, but in combination they become incredibly powerful.
