Here's a
thought: Let people mail their images, descriptions, and
license to a central e-mail directly. Volunteers could then upload them
after checking.
Free form e-mail is difficult to process because every mail looks
different. It also makes it more difficult to collaborate using
interfaces like FlickrLickr.
Agreed. MUAs like Apple Mail have this horrible habit of "embedding"
attachments into the message so that the email ends up being (2n+1) MIME
parts for each attachment:
* Initial text
* Attachment
* Next bit of text
* Attachment
* Next bit of text
etc. These sort of messages are *horrible* to process using something
like OTRS. At least with a web interface, we get to decide what format
things are arriving in...
