Posting by email

[Rick Grunwald]

One of the biggest complaints from users as websites migrate to forums instead of email groups is that they can read through emails quiclky but it takes time to log onto a forum and read the posts. I have seen this in my own behavior- I simply don't have the time to read all the support forums that used to send posts by email

I would love to see a hack/plugin that would allow people to get and reply to posts by email. Yahoo groups without Yahoo and posting to Vbulletin instead of a Yahoo web page. It is already set up to send individual emails why not the ability to reply?

I mentioned this to Jelsoft and they had talked about it but I think they have their own agenda and don't really want to move in that direction. However this would solve a BIG issue that is out there and would definately make some money

Thanks
