The possibility is already there - i wrote my own scripts around it - selecting users from my database mirror and then using some perl magic to post the messages to the OSM message system. Also I'd like to be able to answer to messages via mail not the web frontend. I dont like to touch my mouse for writing emails ... I am already thinking of doing some procmail/perl stuff to rewrite from adress on OSM messages and replying to a virtual gateway of mine which will repost the message to the OSM message system. If OSM usernames would not allow spaces and be case sensitive it would be possible to make the OSM usernames an email adress.
