That is very cool Eugene!
Thanks Mik. I hope we could find a way to somehow integrate that into Mylar core.
Could you describe an example work flow for using this? What kind of news posts/mail/RSS would you like to have a context for? 

  Hey, do your own work for that PhD. thesises of yours. Just kidding. :-)
I think usecases for email/news are quite obvious. It will be very handy when working with mail lists, newsgroups of support forums when users could ask all kind of questions about product. So, you could activate task and look trough the code before replying. Then you could even attach task context to the response. Also, such provider may group messages by conversation within single task.
Speaking about RSS, there are issue tracking systems that only provide an rss api. Eg. http://springide.org/project/report/1 

  Also, lot of web based forum implementations have built-in rss support.

  Eugene

      As promised. Here is a screenshot of the quick and dirty
    JavaMail-based repository connector supporting pop3, imap and nntp
    (including auth and crypto).



      Most of the time I spent on building gnu JavaMail provider with
    nntp support and removing some usage of the URL class in Mylar code.

      I guess there will be some licensing issues with gnu packages, so
    as last resort it is probably possible to use Jakarta net component
    for nntp (non JavaMail API though) and Sun's JavaMail jars for pop3
    and imap.

      regards,
      Eugene

    P.S. Since posts like this involve investigation, I think I need
    task contexts to start working with newsgroup posts in addition to
    bug reports ;)


      That is easy. Using Javamail it would be pretty much the same code
    for pop3, imap or nntp. So, as soon as you confirm that API is
    stable...

      regards
