Description
How hard would it be to modify this module to parse the Jott message into words or phrases, etc and use them to look up and/or update a MySQL database?
I'm wondering if Jott could be used for a more database oriented application, somewhat like the Amazon Jott Link that looks up the product sent by Jott and returns an email with the search results.

There is only one parser active that splits the jott message into node title and body. I began work on a configurable regex regular expression but its been untouched for awhile. I don't think this module is the appropriate tool for doing all that you briefly mentioned. Triggers, actions, and some other code that works off the jott message would be better. I'm open to the idea of jott messages being parsed differently though.
