[drats_users] 0.2.7b2 with return mail

Hi all,
I just posted 0.2.7b2 in the beta directory. This one has the ability
to set the outbound email address, so that mails can be routed back.
There are three new settings, a POP3 server name, user name, and
password. (For now) you need to use a dedicated email account. A
freebie from Google or the like should do fine. Anything you have POP3
access to.
Set the server, user, and password entries appropriately. Then set the
reply-to address to be the email address of that account. Once you do
that, *any* new mail that comes into that account is converted to an
email form in the form manager tab.
Some caveats (all of which can be fixed in the future):
- I poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. Good for testing, bad for
karma.
- There's no way to specify SSL
- All mails that show up at that account are converted to forms and
deleted from the server
- You can only poll one server at a time, and you can't "check for
new messages" at the click of a button
Despite all that, it should be good enough for testing some round-trip
emails.
Feedback appreciated!
