[drupal-devel] Email filter

[Mark Leicester]

Hi Moshe,

Thanks for the hook_menu() pointer. Your suggestion to wind the filter 
into the mailhandler sounds good to me too. I'll create a patch 
shortly. As I mentioned earlier I've patched listhandler to allow an 
admin to select the content type used when new content is created from 
received mail. I'd like to add that to the mailhandler too: what do you 
think?

Cheers,
Mark
