    Sounds great. I look forward to trying this out.

    Any word on when the self-hosted version gets this feature? WordPress 2.8?

  2. Kim Says:

    There still isn’t enough information. Is this available for self hosted wordpress sites as well? How do you set it up? Not enough information unfortunately.

    • Yoav Says:

      This is currently a WordPress.com only feature.

  3. Jim Says:

    Is there a Comment by Email for WordPress.com or self-hosted WP?

    • Yoav Says:

      You can reply to comments by email on WordPress.com (See your discussion settings for that).
      For self hosted WordPress, check out IntenseDebate

    It doesn’t work. I have tried many times to set it up and troubleshoot it and it just doesn’t work.

    Can some one give me a suggestion in how to add the …more teaser line on the post via email publishing. I’d try html code “” but wordpress doesnt recognize it. It did work in the past, I am publishing via gmail.
    Thanks for the help

    • Ryan Markel Says:

      Just insert the html code for the “more” tag in your email and it will take care of it.

  8. Frederic Sidler Says:

    I try to use it on WP 2.8.4. It works, but only with plain text emails. Is there anything I should change to let it work with HTML emails, images, videos, MP3.

    • Ryan Markel Says:

      The post-by-email features are significantly different between WP 2.8.4 and WordPress.com. There’s more information on the WordPress.org functionality here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_to_your_blog_using_email
