ScreenSteps copy-paste solution for Posterous and Gmail
ScreenSteps Desktop is an application to help create step-by-step instructions, quickly. ScreenSteps 2.7 beta introduces a new feature to copy a 'lesson' to the clipboard so that it can be pasted into an email. This means that lessons can be emailed by Apple Mail to Posterous rather than have to publish to WordPress, TypePad, etc or ScreenSteps Live.
How To Create and Use a Draft Template in Mail on a Mac
I wrote this note on how to create a Template in the Desktop version of Mail on a Mac at the beginning of 2007 but it still seems valid. In fact, it is also relevant to using Mail on the iPhone. Currently, I notice that if I create a draft on the Desktop version of Mail, the Draft is *not* shared via MobileMe to the web nor the iPhone versions of Mail; even though the 'Store draft messages on the server' is checked in Mail Preferences. Drafts created in either web Mail or iPhone Mail *are* synced and available to both these versions of Mail. One way to get a Desktop Draft onto the iPhone (or the web) is to move the Draft to a Mailbox folder then copy the text from the synced email in the Mailbox on the iPhone but it shouldn't be necessary.
Create a draft or template Mail message
• Open Mail, Click New button (File > New Message)
• Create the template contents in a new email message.
• Click Save As Draft button (File > Save as Draft)
• If desired: Move the draft message to a different mailbox folder e.g. a new one named Templates. (see note 2 and 3)
Posterous Auto-Post unable to authenticate Tumblr. My solution.
Good news. I have just solved the problem of not being able to authenticate my Tumblr account for auto-posting from Posterous. My Tumblr password started and finished in angle brackets e.g. <my-password>
When I changed my password to not include the angle brackets, the Posterous Auto-Post setup worked first time and I used my Tumblr custom domain name in the process.

Beware the Power of the Posterous Bookmarklet
The Posterous Bookmarket, which makes posting a web page just a click away, does the equivalent of a post@posterous.com. If you have auto-posting setup, this means that the browser post is sent everywhere. Oooops, I didn't realise... Now I do.

Update: Alternatively, remember to click the Advanced Options button and uncheck Autopost everywhere.
