Hello,
I'm using the mailhandler module to allow healthcare professionals to add content to websites via email. Our sites use tags to organize content, so it's necessary that the e-mail submission contains the proper tags. I've played a lot with the 6.x-1.8 release of mailhandler. It works, but there are a few "gotchas". I'd like to know future plans for the module to see if these might be addressed.
Here are the "gotchas".
- If the e-mail contains HTML content, tags don't work
- there is no 'free-tagging'. The tag sent in the email must already exist.
- there must be a space between 'taxonomy:' and '['
- taxonomy vocabularies are addressed by id (example taxonomy[1]: [myTag]). This isn't intuitive for
non-technical folks. Why not address it by the vocabulary title? (examply vocabulary[forums]: [myTag]) - there isn't a way to update existing nodes. It would be nice if the subject of the e-mail matched
the title of an existing node, the existing node was updated or replaced.
Regards,
Stew
