Can't wait for this plugin

Many of my members are sailing around the world and have no internet at sea, and only a (very) slow Wifi connection when at anchor. For now we're using a maillist, and I copy all the "forum worthy" messages myself. Since they all have email, being able to post by email would be a huge plus for our community.

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know (I'll watch this topic). I could also translate the plugin to Dutch - if I can do it without using glotpress; somehow I can figure out how to work with that so I'm back to good old PoEdit

This is wonderful news!!

I am wondering whether this feature would also include the mailing list functionality i.e. when a post is created...everyone part of the member group gets the notification about it? Also, when someone responds to a message by email OR through the forum, everyone in the group gets email?

If not right now, I think these features would be great to have down the line so SimplePress can take the place of crappy mailing/discussion lists as well and can replicate a complete Yahoo/Google group for an organization!

None the less, great work guys!
