 * i’ve changed the default category under option>writing to the category I want
   to use (moglog) but under manage>categories it sill states that the default category
   is development. How do I change this?
 * I’m wanting to set it up so that my posts via email from flickr are placed in
   the correct catogory and the only way I can think of doing this is to change 
   the default category. Can yo tag post via email from Flickr to a different category?

 * I have the same problem. I have 100+ tax moms with 100+ different tax categories
   and 100+ different secret email addresses. When I set up my cron with wp-mail.
   php, it will only post on one categoryand then I have to change wp-mail.php. 
   Is there anyway to set each taxmom/tax categories/email address to post all the
   time?

 * you could take a look at this plugin/mail script:
    [http://www.economysizegeek.com/?page_id=395](http://www.economysizegeek.com/?page_id=395)
   I recall that you could specify the category in the subject line of the e-mail.

 * Thanks for the link, that solution does work but I’m moving away from that plugin
   becuase I want to integrate with flickr more. It seems reading the flickr forums
   that email posting to categories IS coming but no ETA as yet.

 * Ok I know I now have to wait until flickr sort out there email posting to a specific
   category in a blog but what about my previous question of the sticking default
   category (1st paragraph).
