To my knowledge there have been similiar programs, however, I think your
idea stands apart from them in it's form of email delivery. What I
would do if I were you would be to create a program as you are that
looks up a sword verse, and sends an email containing that verse...
However, have that program grab it's list of people to send to from a
mySQL database which will be on the web, and have a website where people
can sign up to put their email in that database... make sense?

In an attempt to make my devotions more organized, I thought of writing
an app that can automagically email you the text of a daily reading so
you can read through the Bible in a year just by keeping up with your
Inbox.
I wrote a quick and dirty lookup program using the Sword API, and
started researching libesmtp to see how to send the mail. I want a
command-line app that will read a config file for the scripture
references for the date, pull the references from sword, and mail them
to a configured email address. This can all be setup to run from a cron
job.
Before I jump in and write it though, I wanted to check if anyone else
has done it, or something similar.
Thanks,
