that it what I previously mentioned as a good idea to implement, making 
sure that the from address matches. This could easily be supplied as a 
command line flag.

The other idea regarding the number of offers is also taken into 
account, in the same way you should be able to specify how many offers 
you should receive with another command line flag. Wish I knew C (a lot) 
better, I'd add the code and send it back... If nobody has done it by 
next year then I will re-learn C properly and write it.
