Thanks, I can see that this is going to be the cleanest approach and
have forked this repo for further investigation...

https://github.com/r-a-y/bp-reply-by-email

It's part of a BuddyPress  plugin for Wordpress that extends the bbPress
forum plugin component to allow posting back into a forum via email.

I've just "rediscovered" Wordpress and am going to look into using it,
or rather it's admin interface, to eventually manage anything  to do with
Courier.  This reply-by-email functionality and this particular plugin
seems like a good place to start.

Yes. It's a key so the reply from the user can be matched with what's
on the originating server. A bit like a one-time-password (OTP) I guess.

I suspected as much.

I'm still unsure how to handle the variable key part...

ciab-#key#-new

Yep, as noted above I will try this.

That is not an option :-)

Interesting code. It seems like a bit of a sledgehammer to solve this
problem but it may come down to it so thanks for the link.
