2.7 post by email not working

[photolord]

Wordpress 2.7-beta1-9478 gives me an error when trying to use the post by email function. It gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: user() in /public_html/wp-mail.php on line 24

Any idea why?

The problem is that [8762] introduced a new version of the POP3 Mail class that uses a completely different method names.

So what would I change and in what file? Or is it a little more complicated than that?

well, wp-mail for starters. I was planning to create a patch, but if you want to, let me know.

Unfortunately, I have very limited knowledge. I couldn't begin to come up with a patch, but I am trying to learn some things. I figure if I come to the trac enough maybe I can start utilizing some code.

[8762] introduced the PHPMailer pop3 class, which doesn't even do the same thing as the old Squirrelmail pop3 class---different methods, different purpose. Same class name, though.

Patch reverts [8762] and localizes wp-mail.php

(In [9503]) Revert POP3 changes. Localization for wp-mail. Props filosofo. see #8051

(In [9504]) Localization for wp-mail. Props filosofo. fixes #8051
