Ok. I guess we can start without that.

I don't think we need a [[noreply]], you can always set up your own filter
that thrashes the mails from the mail gateway.
Have you started a development page for this topic yet?
I guess the EBNF for the mail gateway markup is currently:
append ::= ^ '[[append:' page-reference ['#' anchor] ']]'
append-end ::= ^ '[[append:]]'
prepend ::= ^ '[[prepend:' page-reference ['#' anchor] ']]'
prepend-end ::= ^ '[[prepend:]]'
But I can't remember if you said what you thought about being able to
specify where the text will be appeneded by giving the name of an anchor?
I must say I'm looking forward to being able to use this functionality.

PS. Here's a link to this thread on Gmane:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/2371
we should put that link on the development page for this.
