I tried emailing that address and didn't get a reply.

But I think that could be a rather cool idea - something like REST over SMTP? Know a single email address, send it a blank email get back and kick off the whole HATEOS process - which actually might more sense for something like this rather than over HTTP.



Put "autoresponder:online_identity" in the subject, you will get a reply.

I do like the blank email + HATEOAS idea.


Ah yes - I was being a bit thick and I hadn't read your blog post at that point.

NB I left a comment there but it didn't format correctly. What I suggested was having the subject line be similar to the first line of an HTTP request i.e. <verb> <path>
