It would be great to be able to just reply to a system generated email from my email to post a comment.
Something like basecamp does where the top of the email reads :

How hard would this be to do? What about including file attachments?
I know it would save clients the hassle of having to go to the webpage all the time to post a comment.
It's a popular feature request however there is no current implementation as it would require some kind of cron job system which PP doesn't have.
I see,
This would be my #1 feature request, hopefully there is a way to get it working. I guess an example of what I"m thinking of would be similar to the way ExpressionEngine has a way to post entries from email. I'm just giving that example 'cuz it's what I know.
From what I see Active Collab doesn't have this feature, but I may be wrong. Base Camp does…
Anyway here's hoping, and let me know if there's something that could be done to get things rolling since it's a popular request.

There has already been some talk about how to implement this type of thing, but its definitely not a trivial feature.
Care to point to the code that implements this feature in EE? This might help some developers get jump started.
That would be the moblog module. I guess I can't post the code since it's part of the paid version.
Here's the docs on the user end of it:
