Mail2Mirc
1.0 Beta

Introduction

Mail2Mirc is a service that converts
emails into MIRC cases and loads them into a MIRC server. The user simply sends an
email to a specified email account and the software will create a MIRCdocument and
send it to the MIRC server.

Installation

These instructions assume that you
already have a MIRC server installed. If you do not have a MIRC server installed please
see http://mirc.rsna.org for
instructions.

   framework version 2.0  http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx

Alternatively you can use Windows
Update to install the .Net Framework

   run Mail2MircInstaller.msi. You need to have administrative rights in order to install
   Mail2Mirc

   tool.

Security


1. The user account information for
   the email server is stored in plain text in the registry. In a future version all
   configuration information will be stored in an XML configuration file with sensitive
   information encrypted.

2. For a more secure deployment use
   a local user account with restricted privileges to run the service.

Usage


Mail2Mirc supports four pieces of
information in the email. Those are title, history, findings and discussion. For the
purposes of this application those are reserved words and cannot be used in the text
of the email except to denote where the blocks of text start. Just attach the images
as you would any other file. Use only plain text email. HTML has not been tested.

 

Example body text:

 

Title Test Case

History there is no history

Findings Mail2Mirc is awesome

Discussion I hope that you enjoy
using it
