#7550: BridgeDB email responder is not interactive

 BridgeDB's email response mentions that it supports queries for ipv6
 bridges and bridges with specified transports, but the rate limiting
 feature prevents the responder from being used in an interactive way.

 We could modify the rate limiting feature to allow several requests before
 responding negatively.

 Alternately, the first response could include a brief set of instructions
 only, and only apply rate limiting to subsequent queries for bridges.
 However, this might be confusing, especially if not all translations are
 initially available.
