I know that WordPress.com bloggers can now reply to comments via email, skipping the WordPress admin entirely. But when will WordPress.org standalone blogs get this functionality?

I would also like to have this feature!
In the post by Joseph Scott (http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/comment-reply-via-email-open-to-all/) announcing this feature, Matt responded to a comment asking the above question, by suggesting a commenting system like Intense Debate. So, I suspect this is not coming (at least in near future) to non-wordpress.com WP blogs.
My problem with Disqus, Intense Debate (though to be honest I have not used ID, so maybe I am wrong) is that they break the theme styling for the comments section. So I too would like this feature. To implement it for generic WP blogs they will need to add some more code to let us specify a From address and then use that address. Also a mechanism to feed responses back into WP would be needed.
Can be achieved via IntenseDebate, I think... see my blog post at http://ahren.org/code/bit/reply-via-email-for-wordpress-blogs.
Interested in something like this as well!
