Okay folks . . . Garvin wrote a fix for the Popfetcher that fixed all of the issues I was having with the double text showing up in article posts that are fetched from an email address.

Popfetcher version 1.25 has a feature called Text Preference that lets me choose whether I want Popfetcher to use Text, HTML, or Both. My phone sends all emails as both HTML and Text in the same email so I chose that Popfetcher only use the HTML. Now I don't have any more double text issues showing up in the articles. Thank You Mr. Hicking!

I use an email address to send articles to my Serendipity Blog that I write on my Samsung Blackjack II. The Popfetcher fetches the emails from the email address and posts them as articles in the blog.

I'm writing this for any users like myself who search for answers in the forums about Mobile Blogging, or Moblogging, setting up Popfetcher with Godaddy. or Moblog.

Garvin also helped me with the Cron issues I was having with Godaddy. The following is a sample that would need to be modified to your specific paths to Serendipity and entered in the Godaddy Cron Manager. Since GoDaddy uses a GUI to set the times you would like the Cron ran you don't need to add any command line info as to when to run the Cron.

/usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://yourgodaddydomain.com/Serendipit ... Popfetcher

So you edit yourgodaddydomain.com, Serendipity Directory, and your_secret_word_in_Popfetcher to match your installation. Leave the other stuff as is and it should work for you.

Also Godaddy does not automatically install an uploads directory in the Serendipity installation that it does. You need to create an uploads directory inside the directory where all of your Serendipity files are. Then you have to set the permissions to 777 which you can probably do from the GoDaddy File Manager.

That's what had to be fixed for mine to work.
