Hi there
You can already use Wordpress with Posterous by setting up autopost. It works with Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and all other major blog platforms too.

Thanks for the blog post!

Hey, did anyone come up with a plugin that would allow posting by email with audio?

Well it is time to discover this wonderful plugin : MailPress on wordpress.org …

You’re right on the mark Ozh. I thought the same thing around a month ago. I’m developing a new plugin that will replace the wp-mail.php functionality.

The initial release will allow for full parsing of MIME messages. If you attach images, they will appear at the end of the post. If you embed images in the content, the image will be saved included in the post just as it was in the message. Essentially, you can send a full HTML-markup email and have it shown as a post.

I have the initial version working, but it needs a lot of back-end cleanup. My tentative name is WP Blog By Email. It should be released within the next week or two. Keep a look out for it and let me know if there are any features you’d like to see added.

Although I’m enthusiastic about more features in WP, I’m so accustomed to posting my articles from within the (default) intranet, with all the TinyMCE bells and whistles, that I’d feel awkward posting by email.

Over time, I’d surely get a feel for this new posting method but at first, the whole thing would seem a bit off.

Thanks for discussing this matter ; )

I think this is a brilliant idea.

I would DEFINITELY agree with you there. Posting by email is probably one of the most useful, yet most neglected part of WordPress.

The only time I’ve actually used it is when posting to a blog using the Prologue theme where formatting and media are not needed…
