What I am trying to do is post tracking #'s from UPS that I get via email

Bascially I get orders from a bunch of places
UPS emails me the tracking #'s
I want to Post all this information on forum in a section
Copy and paste will be too much work

I have been looking at exporting my emails to RSS then adding it to forum..cant find a good automated program
Posting new threads via email and just forwarding to forum..dont see a compatible version for 3.84

Are you sure the Post by Email mod doesn't work, I know it's old but I thought it was reported working in 3.8?

Still have had no luck find a mod or program to do this..

Is there anyway to post or reply via email?

If I set a rule in my email program to forward the UPS emails to some other address I want to import them into the forum somehow

You know, I've been looking for something that does the same thing because I've got to keep up with 5 different email lists and they'd be easier in a forum.

Here's two sites I've noted down to try:
http://www.mail2feed.org/
http://www.reblinks.com/

Let me know how it goes! Specifically, I'm looking to see if either one is just posting the summary. That would be useless to me (and probably you).

Yes, I have been working on getting that to work also!
I tried mail 2 feed and it wouldnt work.
I would like to use the built in RSS for gmail
but it states you have to use an aggregator and enter your userid and password that way?

Anyone know a working way to have your gmail display as an RSS feed imported into VB?
Its gotta work!
