Sorry if I confused the issue, then...
Heh, no worries.
Actually, what Michael is doing is pretty cool. Bricolage has events
that are logged when users do things to objects. They can also
trigger email alerts. A frequently-requested feature is for Bricolage
events to trigger other stuff, perhaps a plugin event-triggered
action system. But no one has implemented it. So what Michael is
doing, instead, is having event alert emails sent to a qpsmtp server
where a plugin that he's writing parses the subject and/or the body
and then uses the Bricolage API to do other stuff. In this way, he
gets the event-triggered plugin system without modifying Bricolage at
all.
Pretty nice stuff.
Best,
David
