Post-by-mail similar to WordPress.com or Posterous?

Question

A standard WordPress installation has very basic support for posting via e-mail. Is there a plugin that gives the same functionality as WordPress.com (especially attachment handling)?

My client is in love with Posterous, and I could set up the XML-RPC bridge so new posts go to WordPress, but I'd rather stay in WordPress so I could add advanced handling of custom post types and taxonomies myself once we get the basics running.

Answer 1

Try Postie.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postie/

It has lots of features (including handling attachments and inline images)
