# Script to send instructions to all voters.
#
# How to use this script
# ======================
#
# You probably want to first update the subject of the e-mail that will be
# sent. The second line of the instructions.txt will be the subject.
#
# So let's suppose that the instructions are in instructions.txt and that you
# made a list of voters in maildata.txt (probably using create-tmp-tokens.pl).
# The format of this file should be:
# name;email;token
#
# You should use this script like this:
# $ ./mail-instructions.pl maildata.txt instructions.txt
#
# This script needs a MTA to send the e-mails. If you don't have one or if
# you're not sure that your ISP allows you to directly send mails, it's
# probably better and safer to run the script from a gnome.org server.
# Please test this script with your own email address by creating a
# maildata.txt with a single entry like
# foo;your@address;bar
#
# You may want to look at your mail server logs (and maybe keep them) to
# know if the mail was delivered. There are usually 10-15 errors. In case of
# such errors, you can try to look for the new e-mail addresses of the voters
# to ask them if they want to update their registered e-mail address and
# receive the instructions.
