Sounds great. I look forward to trying this out.
Any word on when the self-hosted version gets this feature? WordPress 2.8?

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.

This is currently a WordPress.com only feature.

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

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

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

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

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.

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
