email interface

Hi,

I guess bart is working on this already, but thought I'd float ideas about how to implement it just in case

Recieving Mail:
This will require a databse field listing the fourms that the user wants to recieve mails, initially this can be recieve all or recieve none I suppose.
When a message is posted a mail should be sent with the thread id listed in the subkect line (eg [Thread=102].

Sending Mail:
When sending a mail (to say boards@irishastronomy.org) the thread id should be stored in a tag in the subject line, just preserve the subject line.

Sending a new message:
Send a mail to boards@irishastronomy.org, and it will start a new thread in the General fourm, moderators would then need to move messages to where they are more appropriate.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
~Al
