For the subs that have the bot banned or if you simply wished to forego linking to Daily Mail in the first place, it would be great if it was possible to PM the bot a Daily Mail link and get the generated result send to you. Then, as @AndrewBestbier has also mentioned (#6), have the bot include a standard message which you could then copy/paste.

Something like this perhaps:

Resulting in:
botinfo

This would both help explain the bot and make users aware of the PM feature if it was something that was added.

Thanks for the feature request, I shall have a look into doing something like this when I have some more free time. I'm considering if it would be possible to make the bot more flexible so that it can work on many other websites, so when I start tinkering with that I will have a look into doing this.

That sounds amazing. While it in the case of Daily Mail serves as a deterrent in clicks for them, this could certainly also help mobile users in accessing articles much faster and easier.
