 * Yes. Postie uses the standard WordPress API so all the normal things you can 
   do should be supported. If you have a specific issue please post it here.

 * Hi, not to hijack the thread but I am having problems with embedding the WP email
   shortcodes in my emails.
 * For example, I email
 * [tags tag1, tag2, tag3]
    [categories existing1, existing2, existing3]
 * and all that happens is that they show up in the post.
 * Is there a setting I need to change in Postie for the WP to pick up the shortcodes?

 * Unless you have some kind of plugin there isn’t a tag or category shortcode. 
   Postie has built in commands for adding this info to a post. See [http://wordpress.org/plugins/postie/other_notes/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/postie/other_notes/)

 * You sir are a legend, I had looked and looked externally and the info was exactly
   where you pointed me to.
 * Thank you,
