 * Hi,
    does anybody know if the following functionality exists in a hack? I am 
   looking for hacks that do the following: 1) when I post by mail or mobile phone
   an image with text I would like that the image automatically is displayed as 
   a thumbnail. When somebody clicks on the thumbnail it should open the original
   picture in a pop-up window. 2) manage uploads from the “Wite Post” menu, similar
   to FrontPage with automatic thumbnail generation and possibility to open the 
   images in a pop-up. Thanks for your help!

   That handles #2. I’m not sure about the e-mail posting system but I don’t think
   it can handle #1. Ringmaster can correct me if I’m wrong about that.

 * Hmm… from email, eh? Well Exhibit doesn’t do any email filtering, although I’m
   seem to remember a hook in the WP code for that somewhere.
    Yeah, the filter 
   is called “phone_content”, and it happens after WP strips all of the good HTML
   from the image (including the img tag) and completely ignores anything but the
   quoted printable content of a multipart email message. A plugin that does #1 
   would be a challenge, I think, and require a ton of tweaking (aka rewrite) to
   the wp-mail.php file. It would be possible to rewrite wp-mail.php so that it 
   looked at the attachments. It might be easier to include a prewritten POP3 class
   that supports attachments to do this. I would be more motivated to write this
   myself if I had a camera phone. If you’re patient enough to wait until Verizon
   supports the Treo 600, you might see me release this functionality.

 * Hi! Thanks for helping out! Too bad regarding #2, I was looking to integrate 
   a moblog like feature. It would be really cool to send an text with picture from
   the mobile phone to get it published instantly:-)

 * I downloaded a replacement for wp-mail.php just the other day that did exactly
   that. Where did that go…
    Here it is: [http://blade.lansmash.com/index.php?p=39](http://blade.lansmash.com/index.php?p=39)
   Does file attachments but not thumbnails yet. You will need to install the PEAR
   core if you don’t have it already. It’s easy enough just to drop the file in 
   the plugin directory if you don’t have it in a system path.

 * Super! I will try it rightaway! What is the PEAR core and where do I get it from?
