in coming email to issue lists

I notice in MOSS 2007 that the list can accept incoming email.

This is a great feature, however the issue lists does not have this functionality, any reason why and is there a work around

Seems like a large design floor here!!!!

Thanks

Peter

    You need to first enable SharePoint to receive e-mail by configuring the settings in Central Admin. Take a look at the excellent whitepaper written by one of the SharePoint MVPs at http://www.combined-knowledge.com/Downloads%202007.htm.

    Hi,

    The issue list template doesn't support incoming email by design. What you could do is use a document library to receive the email and then use a workflow to create the issue item with a link field holding the url to the email in the library.

    I have incoming email working on the other lists, and working wonderfully.

    Just not on the issues list.
