This has been discussed previously, and is also known as a "mail-in"
feature.
Unfortunately we don't support it yet (but it would be relatively
easy to write a plugin for it). My experience from a similar thing
in our company is that some people like it, but in general its
usefulness is severely limited.
A proper mailing list software (e.g. Mailman) which generates a
searchable archive automatically is a lot more useful.

One of our organization's current methods of internal
communications is a mailing list. For some purposes, it's good
enough; for others, not really.
One example of the latter is various documents that should be kept
somewhere easily accessible (for months, even years). They are
currently "published" on the mailing list, but keeping (storing)
them is the responsibility of the individual recipients. Not good,
right?
So we thought of using our wiki (currently under construction).
Now, one of the strong points of the mailing list is the ease with
which it lets people distribute stuff. Say, a person receives a
document attached to an email (from somewhere) and wants to let the
whole organization see it. Simple - just forward it to the mailing
list.
Could JSPWiki help in this? Say, receive mail (with attachments)
from the list and store it, as mentioned above, easily accessible?
There would, then, be no need for individual users to store such
mail...
Thank you for any pointers,
