I am more than willing to spearhead the development of this feature (or as a separate module if we feel that is the correct way to go) but am wondering if there is a greater demand for this feature than just me and my partner.

We are hoping people who email the site under a new email address will be registered given a new temporary username, password, and sent a confirmation email of this (last part drupal can handle already). From this they can then come back and edit their posts, etc.

Anyone else interested in helping with this? Has this been attempted before?

I planned on writing this for 5.x but if Mailhandler and Mailsave will be at 6.x in the next week or two, then maybe I will go that route.

Thanks,

Chris

Any news on this? I could be interested too in a feature like this.

You should write a module that implements hook_mailhandler, in which a user will be created, and his/her credentials will be associated with the newly created node.
Of course, you should allow for anonymous submissions.

This should be rather easy to accomplish, but I don't think it should be part of mailhandler's core.

Any developments on this?

I would find it useful to allow anon users to register themselves by sending an email, and getting a return email with a link to edit the node.

Listhandler ( http://drupal.org/project/listhandler) can highly likely solve your wish...
