"Send a trackback" field

Hello,

as trac is still down and I want to keep tracks of those
things, I  
just post on the mailing list.

We had someone asking for a "send a trackback to"
field in the post  
interface, and it's true typo lacks such a functionnality.

However, I don't know if it's that much a good idea to add
such a  
functionnality when more and more blogging platforms (like
typepad)  
disables trackbacks entries because of spam. Maybe there are
some  
much more important things to do, aren't  there ?

Cheers,
Frederic de Villamil

If your post is actually relevant to theirs in the first
place (which is the 
point of trackbacks, IMO) then you should have a link to
their site in the 
body somewhere.

I know that, I was just transmiting a feature demand because
it is a  
functionnality you can see on almost all blogging platform,
and even  
though I don't think it's mandatory to have one, people
using Typo  
may want to see it in their favourite blogging tool.
