You are right and I just got it to work...
Here is a quick howto:
Install wordpress 0.32
Go to Admin-Wordpress-Wordpress Option-Blog-by-Email settings
Setup your pop server, username and password (imap not supported yet)
Read the readme (modules/wordpress/wp-readme/lang_en.html)
Send an email in the following form:
Quote:
To: address@example.com (you set it in the config file)
Subject: blog:the post's title (you can change 'blog:' in the config file)
Body:
login:password (example: Jack:Starwars)
The content of the post, blah blah blah.
More blah blah. ___
Get your server to check /modules/wordpress/wp-mail.php
Either do this manually or setup a cron job.
If you don't want to switch to using wordpress instead of news you can use the Recent Posts block to display your emails/SMS messages.
To send from your cellphone check if your service provider allows you to send email directly. If not then you can use sms2email services like this one:
http://www.sms2email.com (UK number).
The blog: tag is customizable and you also need a username and password so spam should be minimal.
It would be nice if the next version of the news module could do this.
