[support] Comments to email - Mailhandler hack!

[Rohan Smith]

Hmmm.... the modules already know how to retrieve email from the mailing
list and post them to the site. It is done the way when it is posted
directly TO the mailing list.
My issue is, how can I make drupal totally ignore posting to the site when a
forum post is made [not unpublished], the current settings ignore
unpublished nodes or comments and do not post them to the mailing list.
Is there a way for me to make a node post or comment that does not have a
node id or comment id.
It basically operates like a post in the contact form, no asscociation with
the drupal content system, it just sends an email with the proper title and
from and to addresses BUT it also appears in the section where comments are
to be made. That way drupal only gives it an id when it retrieves it from
the mailing list.
