Postie has a setting called “Tag Of Message End” which allows you to optionally specify some text that indicates the end of the post. This is useful when the email is coming from a mailing list and you want to automatically strip out the footers or your ISP adds unwanted text to the end of your emails.
There is no default value of “Tag Of Message End” so you will need to set one if you want to use this feature. It is not required to specify the end of the message.
So if set “Tag Of Message End” to “:end” and your message looks like:
Here is my message :end With extra stuff
Postie will remove everything after and including the “:end” resulting in a post like:
Here is my message
If your incoming emails look like:

You could change the “Tag Of Message End” to “If you find AutoMySQLBackup” and your post will look like:

Note you can’t use “====” as the “Tag Of Message End” as Postie looks for the tag starting at the beginning of the message and will remove too much.
