Joi and Sen are releasing code for converting email into Movable Type entries ‚– the tool Joi uses to moblog under GPL.

(Thanks, Joi!)

Warning

This is a first attempt — there are some things missing, but someone w/appropriate UNIX experience should be able to succeed in installation and configuration. I may update the instructions as I get feedback.

Prerequisites

The ability to read English and follow simple instructions.

A host connected to the Internet which can receive email [1] and:

Python >= 2.2.2

MT

enabled w/ the XML-RPC interface

a blog (determine your blog id)

a blog user, the associated password [2]

Please note that this code was designed to run on the host which the blog itself is running on. Other configurations may be possible, but I don’t recommend them and don’t plan on supporting them at the moment.
