Is there a way to convert incoming email to a HTTP POST request? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a simple service/software that will convert emails into HTTP POST requests so I don't have to code in separate code paths for email handling. Does such a thing exist?

Answer 1

Google app engine converts incoming email into a POST to your app:

You could either handle the emails directly on app engine, or write a handler which calls back to your other site:

Answer 2

There are a couple services you might be interested in: http://mailhooks.com is a good free solution for this, but there may be a delay in the time to post, and I don't believe they include attachments.

You might also look at http://mailnuggets.com which is a paid service, but posts are quicker and it includes attachments.
