Hi Rebols !
I'm brand new to this language/philosophy but it looks real promising.
I'm definetly going to learn this...
I've got a concrete exercise that I want to solve using rebol so that I can
learn quicker.
I guess I'm hoping somebody will help a beginner get off to a flying start.
So here goes ...
I have mail going to a specific user called "email" that contains a header
field called "reference:"
This "reference" field contains the email address of the intended recipient.
I'd like to read this field, parse the email address and resend the email
to this new address (including the message body of course).
The message should then be deleted from "emails" mailbox.
I need to check the "email" mailbox (say every 5 minutes) to see if any new
messages have arrived and forward them to the "real" intended recipient.
Here is an example mailbox file belonging to "email"
<----Mailbox------ START ---->
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 31 16:25:54 2000

Body Text for email 2.
<----Mailbox------ END ---->
I realise this is probably trivial - REBOL can obviously do powerful things
with a few lines of code.
I've read the manuals and looked at the library examples regarding mail but
can't
seem to get started properly (sigh .. so much to learn, so fast ...)
