 * Hi,
 * I am using Postie to allow someone who is not tech-friendly to post on the website
   via gmail.
 * Is there a way to delete a post via mail using postie ?
 * Thank you,
    Juliette

 * Ok, would you know another plugin that allows it ?

 * I don’t think there is one. Part of the issue is how to identify which post to
   delete since you can have multiple posts with the same title.

 * Isn’t it possible to send the post ID in the post confirmation email, and then
   allow the user to send another message including the ID parameter with a kind
   of delete command ?

 * Yes it is possible…
 * I believe it is easier for the user to login and delete the post rather than 
   finding the email with the ID in it and remembering the command to delete the
   post. Especially since if they type the command wrong it will show up as a post.
