Hi Alex:

In the spirit of this post (http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-
development-talk/msg/b733b00157c708c0) I was wondering if you would be
so kind as to add in email headers for direct messages too?  I'd love
to see the following, if possible:

    X-TwitterEmailType: direct_message
    X-TwitterSender: MikeSchinkel [805621]: Mike Schinkel
    X-TwitterRecipient: al3x [18713]: Alex Payne
    X-TwitterMessageText: This is my direct message to Alex. :-)

Of course regarding the last header I proposed you might say that the
message text is in the body thus redundant and if you took that
position I'd demur. But since messages will always be < 160 chars it
would be nice to have access in code simplified to just regex matching
a header. You'd of course need to strip CRs & LFs...

Hope that you can see this as a doable item...

-Mike

As a quick follow up, if I could parse incoming Twitter DMs using
email I'd have to call the DM API much less frequently (maybe once
every 3 minutes instead of once every minute...)

Just curious how you saw this working - would the user have to give Twitter
a special e-mail address you give them so the e-mails come to you?  How
would you intercept the e-mail other than through that method?  I've thought
of this too - curious how many users would be willing to give Twitter a
different e-mail address.
