How “treat replies as new posts” works
-
I’m trying to understand how “treat replies as new posts” works.
In my website, I receive email to be published as posts by two registered users.
My personal email account ([email protected]) is the one I set up in Postie. I receive an email from user 1 (eg. [email protected]) and gets published as post. Good.
Now, I reply to that email from my gmail account ([email protected]). I thought the reply was supposed to be published, but I guess that was not the point.
The workflow I’m trying to recreate with the function “treat replies as new posts” is this:
When I reply, a new post is created. And if the sender replies as well, continuing the thread, that reply also gets published.
Is that possible?

You have a bit of a misunderstanding regarding the email account that Postie checks. That email account should be used exclusively by Postie, it should not be your personal email account.
So in the case you are describing there should be 3 accounts. user1, myemail and postieemail.
To include Postie in the email thread you and user1 should email each other as normal, except you should CC postemail on each email.
Postie will then attempt to see if this is a reply by removing the “re:” from the subject and looking for a matching post title.
The “treat replies as new posts” setting is used to determine if the “reply” email should be a new post or a comment on the original post.
