well, for now its just kidnda a thig for me, kinda like a blog, but not 
quite...

the hopeful extension of this would be something that I can implement 
for the Habitat For Hunamity website in my home county (Harnett County) 
so they can easily add news stories to their website just by emailing 
them to the "update" address

the "board" if you will would be public, but the address used to post 
to it private

I just want it to take the email, pull the body out of it, fetch the 
time and date, and add "Posted by $SENDER at $TIME, $DATE" to the top 
of it, and add it to the beginning of a bare bons HTML file that is the 
center frame (all the images for the rest of the page and all are in 
other frame(s) for simplicity of this file.

Does that make sense? I hope I described it understandably...
