Hiya guys
	Started using Wordpress a few days ago and love the clean 
look/design/code.  But it got me thinking about photos, I love photos 
but hate having to upload stuff and linking to it (CMS style).  In fact 
I'm so lazy, I decided to have a hack at wp-mail.php
What I ended up doing was replacing most of the code in wp-mail.php for 
wordpress 1.2, didn't anticipate that when I first started but the 
results are nice.

This hack is a 'drop in' replacement for the current wp-mail.php. It 
uses pear as a mime compliant email 'decoder'.  What's cool is that you 
can attach images inline in your email messages and they'll be shown as 
an image in your wordpress article.  It does this by decoding the image 
attachments and writing them to 'wp-photos' directory (not in default 
wp install).

It has all the abilities of the current wp-mail.php plus:
	- Allows image attachments (posts inline)
	- Checks if user email address is in the database (otherwise discards 
message)
	- Allows other file attachments (zip's, exe's, etc)
	- Fairly good cleaner for removing excessive line breaks

I'm planning on more updates, but would love to see this update 
included in future wordpress releases.  Would be happy to maintain it 
to, I'm fairly sure it complies with most of the coding guidelines I've 
read on the wordpress website.

To install you grab the zip file.
- -  Drop the two files (wp-mail.php & mailmimedecode.php) into a 
wordpress 1.2 root directory
- - Create the directories 'wp-photos'  and 'wp-filez' in the wordpress 
root directory(with writing permissions (probably 0777).
