Hi, I'm wondering what the options are for integrating email with Trac 
tickets. I've set up email notification on ticket changes, but that 
doesn't cover the situation I'm interested in.

Basically, if I need more information on a ticket, or if I'd like to ask 
for advice on a ticket, I'd like to send an email to someone, and have 
that email be included as a ticket comment. And when that person 
replies, I'd like their reply to be included on the ticket too.

Cc isn't quite what I want, since the person I'm emailing isn't 
interested in receiving email notifications on all ticket changes. He's 
just going to answer an email or two and not have anything else to do 
with the ticket after that.

I've found some email to Trac scripts (e.g., 
http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/emailfilter.py?rev=latest 
and http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/EmailtoTracScript), which look like they 
do what I want, but as far as I can tell, they assume the computer 
hosting Trac is also the incoming mail server. And that it's running 
*nix. My mail server is running MS Exchange, and Trac is running on 
another Windows machine. I do have a Linux box running Postfix that 
could be used if needed, but Trac is still going to be on another machine.

I'm not too concerned about whether I add a comment to Trac, and Trac 
sends the email, or if I send an email using my regular MUA and the mail 
server adds the email to Trac. The latter does seem like it'd work more 
smoothly, but it may be more difficult to make it work due to the mail 
server being Exchange.

So, any ideas?
