The appeal of Posterous is that every blogging behavior can be completed via e-mail with little to no thinking involved; this feature is no different. To schedule posts, users simply need to add "delay" or "publish" commands to e-mail subject lines and specify time constraints.
To publish a post on a specific date add "((publish: on mo/day/year))" or to delay publishing add "((delay: in x minutes or hours))" after your post title in the subject line of the e-mail. The "schedule later" option is also available in the Advance Settings portion of the bookmarklet or the Manage Page section on the web (see below).
The new feature addition is a minor upgrade with bigger implications as Posterous continues to make its simple blogging platform more business-friendly. It also comes just a few days after the introduction of a page break element, and further exemplifies how such a simple platform can support complex functionality.
