22942	Deprecate Post by Email	ericmann		"We said last year that we'd remove the post by email functionality from core as it was better suited for plugins.  The Jetpack plugin has already added this functionality and, honestly, includes better functionality than the core version.

We should move forward with our plans to remove this feature.

I recommend ''deprecating'' it similar to the way the link manager was removed in 3.5.  Essentially:

* New WordPress installations will never see the core feature
* Existing installations that aren't using it won't see it any more
* Existing installations that ''are'' using it will see a notice explaining they should switch to a plugin instead as the feature will be completely removed in the future

Basically, I want the option to go away, but I don't want anyone to start a riot if we remove a tool they're actively using."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Blog by Email	3.5	normal		dev-feedback 2nd-opinion has-patch needs-testing	trepmal@… sabreuse mike@… info@… xoodrew@… mdhansen@… luke.gedeon@… TheAdityaJain erick@… adam@… bikertom@…
