  With all the welcomed improvements that Team WordPress have rolled out to date, POST-BY-EMAIL is the one feature that has the potential to be GREAT. Because I tend to publish blog posts with a lot of images, I’m still looking for a more productive method of uploading 2 to 20 images with the least possible steps I see POST-BY-EMAIL having the potential to make this happen for many of us.

  Post by Email

  Instead of formatting attachments (where more than 1 image is sent) into gallery, the ability to send all attachments full size (I use 600px) in alphabetical order according to image filename would mean huge gains in productivity and convenience.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Do you mean displaying the images one after each other in the same post?

  Yes. Is that possible at all using Post by Email method ?

  Not currently, but this is the ideas forum and it sounds like something that would be a good feature!

  There’s a new shortcode [nogallery] which will disable the gallery feature

  Thanks.

  Does this mean what I think it means? ie Batch upload of images at one go and [nogallery] shortcode will display them one after the other in body of post ?

  I don’t yet see [nogallery] listed here http://support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/
