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.

already have a MIRC server installed. If you do not have a MIRC server installed please

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
