I'd be interested in a SUBSET of this hack.
I run a mailing list. I'd like to archive the posts into a READ ONLY vBulletin forum. So my email list users could use the search functions of vBulletin to read through the archives.
Features I'd like to see include obfuscation of email addresses, in order to prevent spiders from using them for spam.
What we really need is a command line utility to inject a thread or post. Maybe the logic for "new thread or append to old" is in the utility, or not.
What I would do, if I had the time and expertise, is base the thread on the subject line automatically, and that's about it. A single forum for a mailing list, read only, with straight email injection based on subject line.
