I was thinking that it would be nice if alongside sending emails with
links to leads, the harvester were able to send another email that can
be replied to. I'm not sure if you're using your own SMTP server, or
if you're using Google's, but if you're using your own, instead of
having the from address as harv...@bensgigs.com, you could use the
Reply To address from Craigslist postings.

The sent email would look something like this:

From: f...@job.craigslist.org
To: m...@example.org
Subject: Web Developer Wanted
Body: <post content>

This way, since the bulk of leads are via Craigslist (at least for me,
anyway), one can simply hit reply.

The trouble there is that CL doesn't make the email addresses available through RSS and their TOS says we can't scrape.

Hey, did you know there's a response rate limiter on CL? I didn't know that until I got REALLY good at e-mailing responses to my leads.
