 * Hi, I inherited a WordPress website, and one of my tasks is to post a monthly
   newsletter on two pages. In other words, someone emails me the PDF, I upload 
   into wordpress media, then update the link to it in 2 different places (pages)
   on the site. Being a developer in my day job, I was curious to know if I can 
   set something up where the person generating the newletter can email a ‘known’
   email account, and postie (or something else?) receives the email and takes the
   attachment, adds to media, then updates the link, all programmatically. I’m too
   new to know if this is 1) easy, 2) hard, 3) pie-in-the-sky.
 * Just looking for a short cut, if someone out there knows that it can be done 
   fairly easily, what would be my steps?
    Thanks in advance, Jean

 * You can definitely do this with Postie and a little programming.
    See [http://postieplugin.com/extending/](http://postieplugin.com/extending/)
   I’d use the postie_post_before filter to get the urls for any attachments then
   update the page. Feel free to ask any questions.
