in a way the two are connected in some sence because the hardest part about both is getting the email and sorting out what it is. I have already posted some code that i started working on in another thread for doing a lot of this, it included a decent pop3 class and some basic determination of the nature of the email, there is still quite a lot of work to be done and i don't have the time at the moment for it.

Still integrating email would be brilliant, at the moment the option i am considering is from gossamer-threads but it is $450 which is a lot! there is no better way to make your site sticky than for people to need to come to it to collect email and allowing pop3 access for a small yearly fee is a good revenue generator (at least 10 people from my site have said they would pay $20 a year for that) and i think others would as well.
