If you're dead how does it know you're dead? If I'm relying on someone to enter some code in on the website, why wouldn't I give the "email" to the same person and save myself a bunch of money?

You can get all the free and legal Microsoft software (you even get two MSDN support calls) you want from Microsoft BizSpark. It's really easy to sign up.

Yea, this is one of the main reasons I use FogBugz. It checks email via POP and then imports emails as cases. You can handle the case just like another case/ticket/bug. You can reply right from the website, or assign it to a project, user,
