[Sigia-l] email interfaces

[PeterV]

Hi all,
[cross posted to other list]
Does anyone have good examples of email interfaces? Do's and Don'ts?

With email interfaces I mean things like:
- posting to a weblog via email
- managing an online discussion board via email
- answering questions sent to a website

I think email interfaces can be great for time-sensitive activities that 
have to be done a lot and are short... but I haven't seen many examples. 
The typical email list software commands are one example, posting to 
weblogs is another. Any more advanced examples? (If you ahve them 
screenshots can be sent to peter at poorbuthappy.com)

A few considerations with email interfaces:
- Use links, forms (both require internet access) or return email as input 
devices?
- Feedback via webpage or via email (website is immediate if you're 
connected to the net, but email allows for asynchronous feedback).

Any insights or crazy ideas are very welcome!
