 Replying to [ticket:18923 bloggertype]:
 > This seems to be an ongoing issue faced by people for publishing posts
 by email.
 >
 > Environment:
 > - Wordpress.org 3.2.1
 > - Thunderbird 7.1 email client; publish messages sent in text mode, with
 word wrap off
 >
 > Steps:
 > 1) User from which posts sent is registered as Editor or Admin in
 Wordpress site.
 > 2) Theme footer modified to include automatic checking for incoming
 messages
 > 3) Email account is setup in mail client that matches the Admin/Editor
 email in Wordpress
 > 4) Message to post is sent to the secret address by user
 >
 > Result:
 > 1) Wordpress gets the message, but message is stuck in Pending status.
 This happens for all messages sent by user from email client.
 > 2) This happens if user is Admin or Editor, doesn't make difference.
 >
 > Note: I use Google Apps as the email server for both the From: mail and
 the secret address mail. If I use the Google webmail interface to send
 (again from the From address to the To address) rather than a mail client,
 it does not get stuck in Pending and gets published by Wordpress properly
 (although with formatting problems, but that is a separate issue). So
 issue occurs only from any email client (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.)
 >
 > Workaround:
 > Modify the wp-mail.php file so that it disables the email account check.
 The Pending line is changed to Publish if it fails the check in the wp-
 mail.php file.
 > This works and posts do get published, but no longer verifies the user's
 permission for publishing to the blog.
 >
 > I don't know if the problem originates in the wp-mail.php file itself or
 some dependency (am not a php developer)
 >
 > Related Support Forum post:
 > This seems to be an issue people have been having for previous versions.
 > http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-by-email-posts-stuck-in-pending-
 review
 >
 > I am surprised that I have not found a bug already filed on this (or
 maybe I missed it).
