   It all started out when I wanted to use email to post.

   I figured out that editing wp-mail.php, lines 125 and 135 to change "pending" to "publish".

   Tested, and it worked as expected. But it was posting as Admin and not as Me (user # 2).

   I then hacked around line 35 from

   $post_author = 1;
   to
   $post_author = 2;

   Did the same near lines 82 and 89. Tested again.

   Now it posts as Me, but the missing body bug has appeared.

   So, here's what I'm trying to do, fully:

   1. email that's sent to supersecretemailaddress is checked against a list of known addresses (not in the WP database)
   2. if a match is found, post is made. If no match is found, discard email.
   3. all of those posts are posted as user 2, not 1
   4. all text after "special escape character" is discarded (i.e. ditch sigs)

   Help?

   Looks like using the Postie plugin takes care of this, except for psting as user1. But it's close enough> :)
