Wolfgang is ConTeXt's natural language interface.

In fact, with careful use of the filter module and a couple of mail
programs, it should be possible to create something like:

--8<--

\usemodule[filter]

\defineexternalfilter
        [wolfgang]
        [filtercommand={ ... code to send email and fetch reply ... },
         cache=yes]

\startwolfgang
Hello list,

I wonder if anyone could tell me how to implement the following in
ConTeXt.

... description goes here ...
\stopwolfgang

--8<--

It's important to include the cache=yes, so Wolfgang only has to reply
once.

Pont
