I get to take the bitter with the sweet. It turns out in the shift to WP2.0 I switched to using the official WordPress function to post articles. This should fix a number of bugs related to posting via postie not triggering mail or other plugins.

I wanted to add some actual features this time, but I figured it would best to stick to fixing things :) The big one is that the escaping problem and thumbnail problem should now be fixed.

To make life easier for the cases where you have incredibly messed up mail (I got a sample mail from Vodaphone Ireland that is crazy) I’ve adding some places in the code to add special handlers for email providers. I’m hoping this makes things a little more useful.

Once the dust settles, and I know for a fact that the changes fix the problem for everyone, I’ll try to carve out some time to add some of the back logged features.

• FEATURE: Postie now detects the version of WordPress being used
• BUGFIX: It now ignores the NOOP error
• FEATURE: Smarter Parsing of VodaPhone
• FEATURE: Easy place to add new code to handle other brain-dead mail clients
• BUGFIX: Handles insertion of single quotes properly
• BUGFIX: Thumbnails should now link properly
