If as a collective group we can agree on a free POP component that most are OK with installing I can make available some code for doing this.
I guess the "best" would be to have an array of components selectable (lie BOrg does with SMTP), but that makes it a huge MOD. WOuld also have to have the "option" of turning POP3 onn/off.
If someone is keen, would be quite a cool project. I might be able to do this as part of a current project ...

If this was available, I'm sure it would be a great additional feature - but the limitations (which allow others to abuse the return messages) seem to outweigh the advantages. At least I know this topic is here now - thanks to thekiwi - so I'll be watching with interest!

OK ... just an update on this.,
I now have a WWF install doing exactly this.
EMails arrived with the content of the posting.
The EMail recipient can simple click reply in their Email programme,
type their message, and the posting will arrive back at the forum, in
the correct thread etc etc.
It also obeys the permissions for posting, so if you dont have access, your message is simply deleted.

Very cool. 
What component did you wind up using? Any chance of posting the code somewhere?

Yea ... if you want it:
http://webwiz.infobahn.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=8&PN= 1
- You have to be using SQL Server, as I have used triggers on some
of the tables for the insertion of posting message and a stored
procedure of rthe actual posting of an Email and allowing for the
security of the sender
- There is only one edit to any WWF page, and that is the page
sending out the Email notifications, as the FROM field needs to include
the forum and topic being posted from.
