Introducing FIRSTsearch to go

Heres what I've been cooking up for the Championship:

I have finally made FIRSTsearch so that you may search with email.
This way you can email with your mobile devices and get a response instead of having to get on the internet.
How to do it:
send the query to f@bobbys.us, it will send you the response within five minutes.
The Query, which is different from normal queries:
Include each of the following as wanted (the ordering does not matter, prior to the '@'):
"Q" - If you would like to search the Q&A database
"R" - If you would like to search the Rule database (origional rules)
"U" - If you would like to search the Updates database
"A" - If you would like to search the awards database
"L" - (new in FRSTsrch-tg) If you would like to combine responses that repeat the same first line. (known as linking - with regards to FIRSTsearch)
"C" - (new in FRSTsrch-tg) If you would like to compress the response so it fits within a smaller bandwidth (should be done with TXTing the email, TXT limits vary) - Small dictionary of compressed words to actual words: http://bobfrank.org/FIRSTsearch.doc
(All other characters are ignored prior to the '@')

These must all be followed by "@", ALWAYS, then you place the normal query.

Here is an example:
Body of message sent to f@bobbys.us:
LAC@358
Body of message sent to origional sender:
' 1.SbplLoIslReAwa ReChaWnnr-358 ReWin#2-358 2.PhiReAwa ReFin#2-358 '
All words start with a capital letter and all other letters are lowercase.

And if you have the ability to, you may use FIRSTsearch without the internet, at http://bobfrank.org/?module=FIRSTsearch

Note: No one will ever read your email, so do not ask me anything through this email.
