Plugins - Mail Unsubscribe/Subscribe

I’ve been continuing to work on the unsubscribe and subscribe by email script, and I’ve FINALLY made headway! I predict that in a week or two it will be ready, unless I get really busy with my real job.
What’s cool is that this has opened a whole new bag of possibilities for me. I’m planning on writing and releasing a Blog Mail script, which will allow people to post to my blog from their email client. This is perfect for me to write to blogs from my pocket pc when I’m away from an Internet connection. When I sync up, my latest blogs will be saved to the server.
I plan on making the subject line of the email to be the control line, with something like "Blog: path/filename". The script reads emails from any pop account, looking for the word ‘blog’ at the front of the subject line. Then it takes the body of the email and saves it to the path specified.
Cool!
