Reply by Email

Many "bug" tracking applications use it...
Would it be possible to implement a "Reply by Email" so users could actually just hit reply to a froum email and have it added to the forum as a post? I know the arguments - it would drive down traffic - but.... I would truly pay top dime for a forum encorporating this feature... (goes back to Mobile/WAP support as well)....

That is what I wanted the vB3 plugin for ... migrating a Yahoo Group.

That was exactly what i wanted it for - the migration/integration of a yahoo forum to xF....

I have been speaking to a few developers. If you know of additional ones you recommend, then please send me a PM.

Anything ever happen on this??

Not sure if this will ever happen, but on the subject of spam...
I'm sure the xf security token could be embedded in the mail headers of the notification email.... this header *should* get sent along with the reply and thus can be validated and eliminate spam.

I am just waiting until I have a surplus of money to give the developer a green light. Plus I have been a bit busy and have not thought about it a lot lately but thanks for giving this a solid bump and friendly reminder

I have to admit I have always wanted a feature like this.

This idea came up many times over the years. Ability to be notified of every post (including replies) and to be able to reply via email.
