I had a really interesting hallway conversation with href="http://www.raelity.org/">Rael Dornfest ( href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/35">CTO of O’Reilly, author
of blosxom), here at Web 2.0. 
Rael, as it turns out, actually started learning Twisted just so he
could write a Hep-like app, since Twisted has pretty much the only
easily-extendable open source IMAP implementation out there.  So he was
glad to see that I was already working on it, and that it was open
source.

Rael has some really cool ideas around having the message router do
smart things with messages as they pass through.  For example, he wrote
an SMTP server (or maybe proxy server) that would look for specially
marked-up paragraphs in his outgoing emails and post them to his weblog
(allowing him to cc his blog without including the personal parts of
the message).  He also mentioned the possibility of having the server
be aware of Wiki works, so it could automatically insert relevant links
into messages as they passed through.  Brilliant.
