Hi there!

For some reason, Postie has started sending posts to wrong categories. Here are some debug logs:

The journal category has ID 40. I have also tested this changing the subject to [40], but it is then sent to the default category:

I have decided to roll-back to 1.4.36 which seems to be working (only for category ID, it still doesn’t work with short aliases.

Thanks for the ideas. FYI colon isn’t required when using [] or —

I know, but it would be a nice way to stop further category lookups.

Hi there,

Same problem here.

Everyday we receive an email with a subject like “Resumen de Prensa 12-04-2013” where 12-04-2013 is the date. For some reason the subject is truncated to “2013” which then it’s the name of the new post (wrong), and the category is also wrong because instead of going to “Resúmenes de Prensa” with ID=9 it’s going to “Comunicados de Prensa” with ID=4.
Can I fix the issue? How?

Thanks.

My guess is to change the subjects date from 12-04-2013 to 12/04/2013.

A number between dashes (-) is used to detect categories. See the section “Categories” at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/other_notes/

I will be adding some new preferences to let you turn this off.

Ok, thanks a lot. Changing to 12/04/2013 till the new preferences.
