This is an old thread (mar 2004), but I realized today how this could benefit us as well.
This could be used for mailing lists that send out summaries each day -- the summary could be emailed to the board; which could then include them in the searchable data, in a specific forum tied to the FROM address of the email (in the case of the summary email-list posting) --- or based on the subject.
For my particular use, it can NOT require the username or password to be in the subject; nor can it require specific wording in the subject. I can't change what the list servers send as part of their subject, so to make this work, I have to be able to use THEIR subject and my "special" inbound email address.

or what would be cool... it to have vb receive an email and based on the subject post it into a thread.. umm yea
There is also a hack for 2.2.6 for email to post, that is not supported, and does not appear to be ported to vb3:

But this one requires specific info in the subject -- my interest is NOT to have this specific so that any email can be posted into a specific forum - based on the originator of the email.
Gimp posted this version also for 2.2.x

Is there any interest out there by the super hackers, to write such a script? We also have a few bucks that we will put in as compensation.
What can be done for vb3? I've searched, but if I have missed where this is done already, shame on me - but please point me to the correct location.
