I  suspect that it's not easy, but I'm sure it's possible, because you can
set up blogger.com to create a post from an email sent to someid at blogger.com
. Unfortunately, the mechanism that actually does it will be on their
servers in a place that's not visible.  Perhaps a google search might
explain how they do this.
