Access to user information. #11

Hi,

I have been storing the userId in a database. I now want to send them a private message at random intervals. I was wondering if it would be possible to get user details directly from the Bot?

I looked at the source and I see that there is a private property on the bot. (I now use this property with reflection to get the user's name .. this is obviously just a work around). Is there any better way to get users information when you have either their id or name? Maybe even get their email address?

Thanks

Rolf

It looks like there is an api you can call for this: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.info
