A few days ago, @florianziegler suggested that all of us running blogs with RSS feeds make a small change:

Please add your email address to your RSS feed.

Add Your Email Address to Your RSS Feed

This email address can be used by RSS feed readers to display an Email button next to each feed entry, so folks can reply to the post via email instead of visiting the post on your site to leave a comment.

That seems like a good idea. I found that there was no WordPress plugin that allowed that out of the box, so I built my own. If you’re a blogger and use WordPress, give it a try!

https://wordpress.org/plugins/rss-reply-via-email/

Next step will be for more feed readers to support that issue. I consequently opened an issue for my feed reader of choice, NetNewsWire, to support this, and another for the Android app I use, FocusReader. If you use a different feed reader, don’t hesitate to contact them about it!

@jeremy @florianziegler Great idea. It has reminded me though how bad the wp-admin add plugin search facility is though. Even with exact name match on search it was so far down the page

@jeremy @florianziegler that’s only a good idea if you like receiving spam. Otherwise it’s a terrible idea.

@jeremy @cdevroe @florianziegler Ouch. That is the LAST feature I want in my RSS feeds. I WANT blog comments, I want public discussions. I do not want MORE email. I already get too much.

@jeremy @florianziegler Hmm… would it be fair to think of this as an extension of the Post by Email concept, but in the form of Comment by Email, somewhat analogous to how an ActivityPub handle works?
As far as I know, WordPress Core doesn’t natively support SMTP out of the box...
