Listen on amateur radio aprs-is network for messages and respond to them.
You must have an amateur radio callsign to use this software.  Put  your
callsign in the "USER" variable and update your aprs-is password in "PASS".
You must also have an imap email account available for polling.

Current messages this will respond to:

   l(ocation) [callsign]  = descriptive current location of your radio
                            8 Miles E Auburn CA 1673' 39.92150,-120.93950 0.1h ago
   w(eather)              = weather forecast for your radio's current position
                            58F(58F/46F) Partly Cloudy. Tonight, Heavy Rain.
   t(ime)                 = respond with the current time
   f(ortune)              = respond with a short fortune
   -email_addr email text = send an email, say "mapme" to send a current position/map
   -2                     = resend the last 2 emails from your imap inbox to this radio
   p(ing)                 = respond with Pong!/time
   anything else          = respond with usage


Meanwhile this code will monitor a single imap mailbox and forward email
to your BASECALLSIGN over the air.  Only radios using the BASECALLSIGN are allowed
to send email, so consider this security risk before using this (or Amatuer radio in
general).  Email is single user at this time.

There are additional parameters in the code (sorry), so be sure to set your
email server, and associated logins, passwords.  search for "yourdomain",
"password".  Search for "shortcuts" to setup email aliases as well.
