Using IMAP semantics to control web publishing 5

Every time a new comment or trackback arrives here I get a new mail. Of course I read mails over IMAP, as I utilize a number of different clients. It always felt a bit clumsy to click a link to decide what happens with the new comment: should it be approved or deleted? At the end I decide twice a time what happens with the comment. First I click the link for approval or deletion, second I decide what to do with the notification mail. Why not couple these options? Every unread comment mail represents a moderated comment, if I delete the mail, the comment is deleted, if I just mark the mail as read, it will be approved. The good thing is, we have IMAP so the blog comment moderation daemon would be just another IMAP client that watches a single mail directory. Wouldn’t that be cool? Maybe Garvin would like that for Serendipity.

Ich versuche das jetzt auch mal mit der kommerziellen Bloggerei. Und zwar im Schokokeks-Weblog. Sogar mit Hackagotchi, wie sich das gehört.
