I don't know of any tw project, that works that way. But a long time ago, I think Jeremy mentioned the idea, that TW should be able to use an IMAP store as a TW backend store. ... So dealing with tiddlers would be transparently maped to manipulating emails. ... The idea is very interesting. > I've already seen how easy it is to write a .tid file.

If you work with a unix system, i think there are several command line tools, that would be possible. I also found a nice javascript library http://emailjs.org/ that could be used to extract the email content. To include it into TW, it would be needed to write a tw nodejs plugin. ... .... The biggest problem I see is security. Everyone that knows the email address can basically send executable code to a TW build system, that doesn't sanitize the content. .... and you have to deal with the "spam" problem. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
