The key is building an email service inside of Salesforce that is expecting to receive emails in a certain way. The Apex Code would be written to parse those lead gen emails you get. Trick #2 is being able to setup a forwarding rule that routes those emails you get to the assigned Salesforce email service. This is a simple task in Google Mail (gmail or apps) and I assume its simple in other email systems. @Rob Crawley, yes, this could be done.

Pardon me if I'm having a senior moment, but I don't think I can? I know of a utlity called Copy2Contact (formely Anagram) that could be the solution if we were a PC shop. Would welcome your thoughts and thanks for this posting.

Have you considered putting it in the appexchange? (i have no idea if this is a difficult request or not). I suspect it would be popular. http://sites.force.com/appexchange/browse?type=Apps Chris This looks like an awesome solution to this problem – but I have zero idea how to implement this.
