A feature like this would most probably have a daemon running to update the threads, therefore the support for such a 'hack' would be too hard for even Firefly!

While its a good idea, i dont believe its worth it, it just lets users post without visiting your site, so your hitcounts dont go up, less revenue from banners, less hits for your statistics.. etc..

It doesn't need to use a daemon

Excellent idea! I really like this and will be using it often; I often don't have time to stop by halfway through the week and visit all the forums and read new posts as I'd like to, so this gives me a lot of flexibility since I check my e-mail often.

Maybe this is something they're working on for Version 3 and that's why it won't be released as a mod ???

I think it's about support and configuration. Chen would be innundated with complaints cause peoples config would not work as this would involve setting up an email address, etc.....

But I hope (wink, wink) someone picks it up and runs with it. I run a large group which has evolved into some sub-regional groups who use Yahoo groups to send notices and such, this would be perfect for me

Me too. It would be a very neat mod!

Though I suppose I can also see the problem of losing web traffic / revenue if everyone started using it.
