Create a script that can be used to receive email to multiple  
addresses for creating information. The address the message is sent to  
should be inferred from the email so that a single alias can handle  
messages for a whole Horde installation. Messages should be directed  
to a specific application via keywords and probably a survey of API  
methods to see what applications are available.

The address to send emails to should be configurable to some extent;  
possibly with a random string for minimal privacy. In any case  
destructive actions should not happen as a result of email processing.

Example use cases:

- send an email marked "note this" to create a note in mnemo
- send an email marked "schedule this" to create an event
- send an email with a vcard attachment to create a contact, or a  
vevent attachment to create an event
- send an email with an image attachment to upload it to ansel
- send an email to jonah to create a blog post
