This is something that isn't released yet because I need to find a way to handle HTML messages sent by Outlook express.

You can get the script here:
http://cafelog.com/06p3/b2mail.phps - save as b2mail.php and put with your b2 files
And the necessary POP3 class here:
http://cafelog.com/06p3/b2-include/class.POP3.phps - save as class.POP3.php3 and put in /b2-include

Edit b2mail.php, with your email details. It's a good thing to create a new POP3 mailbox just for that script, though you can use your exisitng one.
Then, you run the script with a cron (since this can be resource intensive, I advise you not to set the cron to run every minute if you're on shared hosting...).

What the script does:
- checks your POP3 for messages
- checks all messages for a subject like "blog:here is the title of that post"
- checks that the first line of such a message is like "login:password"
- posts the content starting from the second line, stopping at the message delimiter '___' by default (to defeat sigs and ads from most free email providers like Yahoo! or Hotmail)
- deletes the email message (it doesn't delete emails that do not fit all the conditions, of course)

You can use <title> and <category> to set a title that overrides the subject, and a category that overrides the default category that you set in b2mail.php's settings.


Example email:

[GamerZ]

COOL

[feelso]

It seems that the "apostrophe" is not allowed in the title.

It gives an error and it fucks up all the process...

Is it me or... ?

[michel v]

Good call, it was a line I forgot to put there.

Find these lines:

[feelso]

and what about the line breaks?

it doesn't seem to work too...

[michel v]

Oh, uhm I got to make it an option to convert line-breaks. Or make it convert them if AutoBR is On in the Options.

Anyway, it's been working for Mr Cortesi

I've got it working fine if I send ordinary email, but what I REALLY want to be able to do is send email from my cell phone. So far that hasn't worked. Maybe because it's all on one line or something? Here's what I type in:

[email protected] blog: Hello login:password message text

It gets confused like it thinks the subject is the login. If I switch positions (login first and subject after) it gets even more confused. I took the subject out in the b2mail.php (just left '') and it's still confused.

Any ideas on how I could make this work?

Daisy, I'm not sure.

How does your phone email work ? It looks like you have to put everything on one line, which looks like it's an SMS to POP3 gateway.

Anyway, the only way to debug this would be to output the email to a file.

Here's a way you can do it. Open b2mail.php, and add these lines:
[php:1:048951d0e4]$f = fopen('b2maildebug.txt','a+');
fwrite($f, "\n\n\n---\n\n\n");
$debugmsg = implode("\n", $MsgOne);
fwrite($f, $debugmsg);
fclose($f);[/php:1:048951d0e4]
After this line:
[php:1:048951d0e4]if (preg_match('/'.$subjectprefix.'/', $subject)) {[/php:1:048951d0e4]

Now, create a blank file named b2maildebug.txt, and chmod it 666 so the webserver can write to it.

Each time the b2mail.php will spot an email that suits its requirements, it will output the raw content to b2maildebug.txt
If you could copypaste the raw content of an email sent with your cellphone, I could check what's to correct

Here's a copy of the contents of the b2maildebug.txt file (sensitive data has been modified, of course):

[tgillespie]

the links are dead to the files:

b2mail.phps &
class.POP3.phps

Probably didnt get copied when you made the move

This weekend I'm going to finally get around to trying out my Palm VII for sending email/posts. In my tests I noticed that the email to post didn't adjust for the time difference of the server. Any way to correct that?

Thanks!

Wish the b2mail links were live again!
