RE: [Notifications] Use cases

Oh, so it would be good to agree beforehand because I had completely different ideas.
Like:

Scenario
Joe wants to turn on his coffee machine in the morning so that when he wakes up, the coffee is already waiting...

Actors:
IMAP Server, Notification Server, Client (Joe's coffee machine), Joe

Pre-conditions
1. Joe goes to sleep but before doing so, He schedules a future mail delivery for Himself, 0600 in the morning (subject: coffee "1 big decaf +milk"; no body).
2. Client (Joe' coffee machine) is subscribed to Joe's mail events, particularly to the an event when an email arrives from Himself.
3. Client is configured to ingore all other mails that those from Joe with "coffee" in the subject line, and the hardware configuraton is satisfactory (has coffee, electricity, water, cups, etc).
4. The Notification Server supports sender and subject fields.
5. IMAP Server has AfterBLAST support.

Flow:
1. Future delivery is triggered at 0600 in the morning, therefore a new mail arrive to Joe from Himself.
2. IMAP Server BLASTs some info to the Notification Server.
3. Notification Server informs the Client.
4. Client validates conditions and prepares Joe's coffee, as instructed by the subject field -> a big decaf coffee with milk.
5. As instructed by Joe's SIEVE script (that is triggered AfterBLAST), the unnecessary email is removed from the mailbox after the information was BLASTED to the Notification Server.

Alternate flow:
 - two coffees, one for the wife as well, using the same Client - using the same event.
 - two coffees, one for the wife as well, using the same Client - using different events.

Expected results:
 - the coffee conforms to the requested parameters.
 - Joe is a happy IMAPCoffee customer enjoying the benefits of his well-spent investment.
