What about emailing through the user's existing email program? I know
that's easy to do with KMail (just make some calls through DCOP), although I
don't know about Thunderbird. Alternately, just tell people to send their
recipes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All email that is sent to that address
is automatically scanned to see if it contains a valid recipe and, if so, the
recipe is then stored in "Untrusted" until someone has a chance to verify it.

I don't know...I think that it would still be better to have someone
review it, just in case some joker comes along and tries to mess with the
system.
