Hi Rauven,
Sloan has had email response capability in production since last September. It works. Its not without some problems, but its working for Sloan and I bet most of what you need has probably been done.
Areas where you can contribute (aka "known problems")
- Html email in the reply does not work.
- Attachments do not work.
- Can't reply from a batched message (do we really want to implement that? Might be very confusing to the user)
Security: I think that the email must have the reply address the same as their login address.
There is also a useful thread in the .LRN testing forum on the problem of vacation replies. Not sure if the solutions have been implemented in the latest release yet.
