Post via e-mail's Category: allow specification from inside the mail too

[jidanni]

On wp-admin/options-writing.php we see Post via e-mail Default Mail Category.
Well OK, but there should also be a way to specify the category right
there in the mail. A magic keyword or something: ###Category: Nurds###,
[[Category:Nurds]] or something.

By the way, don't you want to say "Default posting category" instead of "Default mail category"?

I see in ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_to_your_blog_using_email some hacks to do this have popped up.
So we see the need...

Pushing due to schedule. Can evaluate in next release cycle.

suggesting wontfix/plugin material

[sivel]

With the post by email core plugin ramping up, and the previous suggestion to leave this plugin territory. I am giving it a -1 and closing as wontfix.
