  I was just wondering if it were possible to send an email to wordpress.com and it not immediately post to the site as published. I would like it to just go to draft first, then be reviewed before publishing. I see all sorts of plugins, but never anything for the regular .com sites.

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

  Searching on “post by email” in the support documents gave this at the top choice:

  Post by Email

  ah… that is exactly what I needed… thank you oh so very much….

  Is there not a default setting that EVERY post goes to draft or pending?

  No.. Without any tag like [status draft] the post you email will be directly published on your blog.

  hmmm… yet another reason to move to a hosted solution, I guess… surely I can do that with a full install… I just figured there would be a default post state for EVERY post, not just emailed or texted in… oh well…

  I think only two words either [status draft] or [status pending] are not responsible to make your email very large. Almost everyone wants to publish his post directly. Not to go to Drafts. :-)
