## Description

Reply to any post, forum topic and forum reply **simply by sending e-mail reply**.
Now with file attachment support.

Plugin sends a notification message with customized Reply-to address, which enables
to pass the reply to the correct place and post it to the WordPress.
 It strips 
away the quoted part of the message, so only the reply gets posted to the forum.

Requires Postmark account to hook the incomming emails.

Unique hash value in each message provides additional security.

Examples available on a plugin page:

### Translations

 * English – default, always included
 * Polish: Comming soon

The pot file included.

_Note:_ All my plugins will be localized/ translateable by default. This is very
important for all users worldwide.
 So please contribute your language to the plugin
to make it even more useful. For translating I recommend the awesome [“Codestyling Localization” plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/)
and for validating the [“Poedit Editor”](http://www.poedit.net/).

It took a bit of head-scratching trying to get plus-address forwarding to work with
my webserver provider’s configuration, but once I had that going it was great. This
is a clever solution, thanks very much for making it available to the world for 
only $0!
