With some time on my hands on this lovely Sunday afternoon, I've been 
working on some new code for the weblog to allow me to send a post in by 
way of e-mail. So far it's working pretty well. A program periodically 
looks to see if there's a new e-mail in a specific folder, to see if it 
has certain keywords in the message, and if so, then loads the e-mail 
into the weblog.

The e-mail posting doesn't allow any HTML formatting since that could 
potentially contain malicious code if someone figured out the security. 
Consequently, it is formatted a little differently than the other posts 
and contains a different category name to differentiate it as well.

I've got just about everything working correctly. The next piece is to 
get the e-mail notifications working that a new post has been added to 
the weblog. Since it might be a lot easier to post stuff to the weblog 
through e-mail, it is possible (at least until the newness wears off) 
that occasionally more than one post will happen in a day. As part of 
this upgrade, I plan to modify the e-mail notification process first so 
that only one notification can be sent on one day. No reason to spam 
everyone with a bunch of "Roland's weblog has been updated" messages!
