Any suggestions for this situation?

This is certainly possible, although you will probably not find any pre-written scripts to do it, and you may have to work with your host (if on a shared server) to set it up, as it involves piping email to a script, which may be restricted by default on many servers. I have done this several times though, and I agree, it is often the ideal solution.

You would probably be best off with a news script like those which you mentioned. To be honest, I've never heard of the ability to go from e-mail to site like that.
