Greetings to all!

My present work place restricts the usage of basic IM client to communicate
with my contacts and leave only email. I have my home Mac turned all day on
and I use Adium on it. I realized that if I could tie Adium and Mail on my
home Mac I will get an ability to send & receive IM messages with my home
Adium via my office email client! And also it will be a nice try to study
obj-c :)

I think this plugin will poll the Mail's mailbox for specially crafted
emails (may be signed) and perform operations based on the commands in them.

Commands-list will be smth. like:
	SHOW [ALL|ONLINE|OFFLINE] CONTACTS
	SEND MESG TO CONTACT XXX
	GET HISTORY FOR CONTACT XXXX [FOR YYYY DAYS]

When Adium receives a message from contact the plugin will send a backed
email with message throgh Mail's interface.

So the question to you guys: does Adium already have such a plugin?

With best regards,
Aleksandr.
