   I have subscribe2 setup on wp1.5 to email people when I make a new post. It is working fine when I make a post using the web interface, but if I post a post post using email/wp-mail.php, then subscribers are not notified.
   Is their a way to make subscribe2 work with email posts? Do other email notification plugins handle this?
   Thanks
   Ben

   The problem is that the post-by-mail function (and the XMLRPC posting function, too) does not trigger the publish_post action, which triggers subscribe2.

   If you want, edit wp-mail.php, around line 147 you'll see:
   do_action('publish_phone', $post_ID)

   After that, insert the following:
   do_action('publish_post', $post_ID)

   NOTE: Untested. May break in unexpected ways.

   I've tried adding that line but it hasn't had any effect. Any other suggestions?

   Not off-hand. You could try calling subscribe2 ($post_ID) directly, instead of executing the publish_post action. Again, untested and may not work.
