Confluence Mail Archive

Service to allow Confluence to archive emails:

Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment:
"Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

• Periodically check a POP box
• Incoming mail becomes a content-object
  o parent->child by thread
• macro to display email stuff
  o {mail:recent=10}

  o

  {mail:search=Rob|matches=4|summary=true}
• Intertwingle-like features: http://www.mozilla.org/blue-sky/misc/199805/intertwingle.html
• Internally name by message-id?
• Convert mail to page
• Plugin to filter incoming mail
  o JIRA keys to issue links,
  o filter out spam (spam assassain headers)
  o Link mail subject -> conf page
  o If email exists, set creator to existing user
• Link to/from/cc to relevant Confluence users
• Honour spam assassin headers
• Emails that are replies to outgoing notifications?
• Mail attachments indexed and stored
