    Hi,

    I am creating posts remotely and have them emailed into WP by Jetpack post by email. I'm sending an image in the body of the post as part of the post and I want that image to automatically become the featured image.

    No sure exactly how to do this.

    My site is: bostoncommons.net

    An example of a page where the image is in the body is: http://bostoncommons.net/how-to-invest-in-china/

    Here is the code that is creating the image:

    </p><p>images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWTpOKEFdz3anhwUVX647ok3w6COM5iY14WnaYy7SDxJfyXcJzbqqG91s6<br/> Image Courtesy:<br/> link: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-invest-in-china-now-2016-11<br/> author: businessinsider.com<br/> description: How to invest in China now – Business Insider</p><p>

    Thanks!

    David
