If you look at the way house of fusion does it. Pre-register your email

Subject: Using email msgs for data entry

Blogspot, the popular blogging software announced recently they will let
people do data entry (adding blog content) by sending email messages.  I
work with people who would be VERY comfortable doing data entry via
email,
particularly blackberries.

Has anyone done this before (in any language) and can they comment?

I am well aware of possibly security issues, but I can think of a dozen
ways
to lock this down.  I want to know the pitfalls of translating emails
into
database queries.  We're using Exchange here.  Has anyone translated
email
msgs to data entry without manual intervention?

Thanks!

Don
