#9 enhance aft to deal with mail too
(Disclaimer - this may be a little bit far out)
Many web applications involve a mail being sent upon
registration and a unique one-time URL to be clicked to
confirm receipt.
How would you test this with anteater?
a) If this is already possible, document it how
b) If this is not yet possible, how about adding a tag
(now wild feature wishing begins ;) ) that
i) connects to my pop3/imap
ii) grabs the message that shows certain features
(e.g.
a particular From address, subject line, etc.)
iii) parses it for URL or other info
iv) clicks on the URL or any other action...
It would be nice if such a task could browse through
the messages in my pop's queue, but only download the
one required and not all my mail coming in otherwise
(no clue whether the pop3 protocol allows for something
like that at all). Having an attribute to specify
whether the message shall be left on the server after
retrieving it or whether it shall be cleaned up
thereafter would be a nice extra.
