Yes but a  demo (simple) with code doing something,  speaks volumes.

The reason I reckon this would be interesting is that both google and 
amazon have api's that allow you to programatically
*do things*. Accessing email via an api is pretty much along this line. 
Instead of  having to access via a client or webpage
you can plug it into your own app.

anyone else on the list interested, listening in?
