programatically updated post does not resend emails

When a subscribed-to post is first published, its subscribers get an email. Subsequently, the same post can be returned to Draft status, updated, then (re)published – and subscribers will get another email.

I’m trying to emulate the subsequent behavior programatically.

That is, set post_status to Draft and revise content via wp_update_post, then set post_status to Publish and use wp_insert_post(same-post-id) to re-publish. But S2 doesn’t re-send the email to subscribers.

I also tried wp_transition_post_status(‘draft’,’publish’) – but no emails sent either.

How to make S2 send emails for a re-published post without resorting to manual manipulation of post?
