Hmm I should have read through this whole thread before sending you a PM
I actualy have a working alpha script that interacts with the forums just like yahoo groups.
The email posts look like crap, and I'm currently working on the preg matches to clean that up. But I'm in the alpha already.
Perhaps we should get together and see what we can come up with?
I've got the email catch working, cron job runs every 10 minutes.
For forums that are enabled for the email integration and that a user has subscribed to when a new thread or new post is posted from the forums, an email is sent.
From email, a user can post a new thread, or replies to one of the emails they receive.
When the cron runs every 10 minutes, it'll grab those emails post them, and email the user the post just as if it had been posted from the forum.
Completely interacting just like yahoogroups
Just gotta clean up the install and stuff so a noob can install it, and clean up the emails a TON. Damn line breaks are driving me nutz on that
