Entry via email.

I finally got the email to journal system working on my mail server. All it took was a copy of Mail::Audit (which I use for filtering my mail,) and the automating form submission code from the Perl Cookbook (20.2) modified to use cookies (to log into use perl using the cookie I extracted from Mozilla.)

I'll get round to posting my code sooner or later, once I've gone though and checked it's all working. Unfortunately (for all the XP programmers out there) this is one of the examples that are really hard to write tests for - at least without breaking my mail filter and/or my journal page on use.perl.org.

Oh, and as a added bonus, I also found out (after thinking I'd deleted my mail at least once) that the IS team here aren't currently backing up my mail server. Ooops.
