Hi. I've been looking for a way to create tiddlers by sending an
email. Has anyone implemented something like this?

The reason i want to do it is because i do a lot of note taking on the
road and i'd like to send messages from my phone to my tiddlywiki that
become tiddlers.

Another potential use of something like this is moblogging.

Thanks!

That would require a server-side script to receive the e-mail, process
it and add the contents to your TiddlyWiki file.
The idea's quite nice, but I don't think anyone has implemented it yet.
If you're familiar with Ruby, you might look into r4tw:

FND, gmail provides atom feeds (+autotagging, or labeling, in their
lingo)

so maybe something smart and ripplerappesque could be done with
them...

If nothing with batteries included appears, this old post
http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/msg/056269d8409d121f
could be a starting point.

The code, fixing google groups reformatting, is here

I tried (while gmail remembers me in this browser) with
<<gmail https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom>>
It ended up giving some errors, but still displayed some messages

That just might work - any volunteers?
