Introduction

This is the source for Mixamail.com -- an e-mail gateway to Twitter.

All access is controlled via emails to twitter@mixamail.com. The subject determines the action:

• update sets the status to the first line of the body
• fetch retrieves all new tweets from the friends' timeline (since your last e-mail)
• re: <status> replies to the status
• rt: <status> retweets the status
• like: <status> favorites the status
• subscribe acts like a daily fetch at the time the mail is sent
• unsubscribe cancels subscribe
• google <search-terms> searches for search terms

The code is almost entirely in main.py.
