Hi!

I’m interested in this feature for a company support forum. I’d like to use the email “xref” header to indicate the post in the email. Then my webserver would

– read a dedicated forum inbox for unread mail
– find the xref
– find the reply
– use the sender’s email to find the user id
– use the data collected to post to the thread
– delete from the inbox or mark as read (admin setting)

It would not require the added complexity of a 3rd party. It might use a cron job and curl to poke the inbox.

Is that crazy talk? Basically I want github-level easy replies.
