Email Integration (New Threads/Replies by and through email!)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011 
This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! Complete with the user's receiving emails for new threads and replies AND being able to reply directly from email or sending a new email to start a new thread! Just like email lists, you will need a separate email box for EACH forum that you have this enabled for!! After installing this modification in the forum manager you will enter the settings for each forum to connect to it's own email box. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email in one of two formats that you as the administrator decide. One format has a "reply box" and is the most sure fire way of not getting excess email crap ont he forums. The second format (noted as "Old" format) keeps an email in its base pure form with some attempts at quoting messages. Examples of both are attached below. The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! IMAP You MUST have php imap functions enabled on your server to use this modification! You do not need to have IMAP installed, just have to enable php to use the functions by recompiling it with imap enabled! If you are upgrading from the version for vbulletin 3.6.x , see below! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:
 But in anycase, here are the ideas for future versions!
Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7x Upgrading from version for 3.6.x
The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

I have asked Cyricx if he's interested in updating to 4.x or allowing other coders to work with his code to update this mod.
I've offered $300. Forums for mods which are 3.7 and lower will be locked soon. I've asked him to reply here if he's willing to either develop, or allow others to develop. No members have liked this post.

Thanks for all your help Cat. I am trying again with 2.6.2. So far no luck. Also, I do not have an emailreplyint.xml in my installation as you mentioned earlier to change to this "WHERE contentid = $postid"
I am still messing with this but you have been very helpful. No members have liked this post.

I have this on 3.8.7 PL1. It works but the problem is the emails aren't RFC compliant and they rejected some. It really needs a mailer class update.

also, i've had it installed since 3.7. I ran the upgrade with it already in place. No members have liked this post.

You could be right. I haven't tried to upgrade because I've got so many mods... But honestly the email integration plugin isn't utilized much. I'm thinking of uninstalling it and reinstituting it on a later version of VB.
Do they have email integration plugins for VB4 or VB5?
