The Blogmail module allows registered users to post to their blog via an email address.

First set up a POP3 mailbox that will be used for the incoming emails. This should be used only for this function as Blogmail will try to process all emails that arrive in this mailbox. Put the appropriate connection detail into the Blogmail section of the settings and filters option. This mailbox will then be checked on every cron run.

Registered users can now post to their blog by sending an email to this mailbox. They must send from the email address that they gave as their "Real_Email" as this is checked to decide which blog to add to. The subject becomes the blog Title. The body of the email becomes the blog Body. Any signature after a proper signature separator (-- ) is removed.

Given the check on source email address, security is not really needed. But Sysadmins may choose to turn on the Require Passwords setting. If this is Enabled, then the user *must* include their Drupal password as the first line of the message.

To Do: Do Mime Parsing to get the html part of multipart mime. At the moment, the whole body is used.
