is there a right and wrong way to post to two blogs by email at one time?

  Hi – I previously posted to the forums (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/post-by-email-sent-to-my-primary-blog?replies=1#post-808573) and thought I’d follow it up with this message:

  I have post by email activated on my personal blog (karizmatic.wordpress.com, primary) as well as a blog I contribute to (thingaday2012.wordpress.com). I added both addresses to my contacts list and sent a post by email including both email addresses in my post, but instead of finding one post in each blog, I found 2 identical posts on the primary blog. To test that the address was properly working, I forwarded the same exact post to just the secondary blog and it magically appeared… any reason why the first send was confused? will i need to send separately each time? (if so, it kinda defeats my purpose of posting by email)

  i should also mention that when I sent the email in a different order (Thing A Day email first; primary blog second), it double-posted to the blog whose email appeared first.

  Posting by email can be problematic sometimes due to how various email applications handle formatting.

  Is this consistent, or does it seem to happen at random?
