Mail for Hina chan

Python 
 from poplib import POP3

 def biff(hostname, username, password):
   try:
     pop3 = POP3(hostname)
     pop3.user(username)
     pop3.pass_(password)
     mails,bytes = pop3.stat()
     pop3.quit()
   except:
     mails = -1 # error code
   return int(mails)

notes:
Hina chan wants to make auto-reply email programme.
I picked up subjects for her.

  • recieve mail (poplib)
  • parse mail data(mimetools, mimetype)

She told she wants her email programe to act she lives.
Well, I had small msn/irc chat bot programme before,
but, I am not sure how to computer read email ?
There are alot subjects that I did not study yet.
parse English is seem easier than parse Japaense,
(no need to care morphological parse?)
hmm, ... no idea, I will think how to make spam filter.

 if mail.address in addressbook:
   bot.replyto(mail)
 if mail.is_spam:
   trashbox += mail
