If incoming postings are accepted from any e-mail address then all we
need to make e-mail attachments available to laconi.ca and MMS is
done. However, based on my yesterday's e-mail test identi.ca only
accepted postings from a confirmed address. Didn't check the code,
should have. So I'm not proposing a new incoming address for MMS.
