Email posting is one of the most important features to me, and I’d really like to get some clarification on what it can and can’t do. It seems that there’s very little written in the codex about the proper uses and limits of email posts, and I was wondering if some people could help me work it out.
* First: I understand that the emails should be in text format. That’s fine, and sensible.
* However, text emails have caused some serious problems for me with line breaks, and I often find myself going back when I get home to adjust them. Often, I find that each line is ended with an ‘=’ sign, which is a pain in the butt to remove from each and every line. This seems to depend on whether I’m using Yahoo, Gmail, or my own server mail.
* Is it possible to include codes other than simple text in the emails? If so, what codes are and aren’t allowed? This is where one of the major problems with the odd line breaks comes in; if I have a particularly long URL and it breaks between lines, it causes gibberish. Yesterday, I was able to post using blockquote tags, but the other stuff didn’t come through formatted as I would have liked it.
* Is there any way of putting some kind of code in the email body to tell WP to put the post in a category other than the default?
Thanks much.
