Automating PBEM game

[Martijn van der Kooij]

Hi,

I'm currently looking for the best way to automate a PBEM (Play By E-Mail)
game.

The following is needed:
* Run a game on regular times (1 to 5 times a week) by starting a executable
  and send some on hard disk stored files to the players (email adres can be
  put into the name of the file or as first line in the file)
* Get mail from a Pop3 account and look for a certain subject: 'orders' when
  found this message must be saved to disk and a executable has to be
started
  with this file as parameter; as a result a file has to be send to the
sender of the
  orders

I've no experience with Python, but a lot with other languages on windows
32.

Do anyone here have a suggestion and or examples how to implement something
like this?
