Just incase anyone's interested, we went ahead and wrote a python script to act as an email gateway for ELOG. If anyone's interested, we'd be happy to share and appreciate any additional improvements.
- You can send a new message to the email address to start a new thread.
- You can reply to messages received from that logbook. If you include the message you are replying to in the body of your message, the reply will be threaded appropriately as a response to the initial message.
- The body of a new message will only include the text/html portion of a MIME message if it's available.
- Attachments work, although we remove spaces and add a random identifier (to avoid collisions) to each filename.
- the Author field is derived using the From address of the email.
- the subject field is derived using the Subject of the email.
- both single and double quotes are preserved in the author, subject, or body of the message
