How would said module be invoked? I mean, all we have to do is parse a load
of variables out of the mail (poster, body, In-Reply-To, etc) and convert
them into a single HTTP POST request. Even if they totally change the HTML,
it's not hard to change a few fieldnames in the POST. Writing a PHPNuke
module (a) ties us to Nuke and (b) sounds a lot harder to *me*. Besides,
it's non-RESTful. ;)

I'm also unclear how you'd invoke this custom module from the command line,
but I'm sure that that's just lack of knowledge on my part rather than
because it can't be easily done :)
