 * Postie in itself seems to work just fine. I have to set postie to Preferred Text
   Type: plain in order to have people post from hotmail, but as long as there is
   no more then one image sent, posts go through. If more than one image is sent,
   the post fails. I have tried every fix i could find. Im using 1.4.2. even with
   a fresh install of WP and just postie installed, Its the same issue. Im looking
   for a solution to this issue. People must be able to just attach images to an
   e-mail and have it post.
 * In WordPress i just get a tmptitle draft if more then one image is sent.
 * Has anyone found a real working fix for this issue?
 * Thanks

 * I found a solution that may work to fix anyone’s issue with multiple image attachments.
 * Under settings > Media I set the Large size way up and now there is no issue 
   with the original postie code. I set the dimensions up to 6000x6000px. I started
   to think about what would cause it to fail and sent a bunch of very small pictures
   which all posted just fine, so it was not the number of pics, So I figured it
   must be the size.
 * I use color box set to just use medium size images which i have set to max 800px,
   so no mater the size image sent in by people, there is no issue with failed posts
   or too large of an image on screen.
