Description

Recently, using `[publicize]` stopped working when used in an e-mail.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup a JP site with PBE with Publicize connections enabled.
2. Send an e-mail to the PBE address containing `[publicize off]`

Expected:
Post published, but no social media messages are sent out.

Actual:
Post published and social media messages sent.

The shortcode appears to still work as expected on wp.com, so limited to Jetpack. Reported as failing near June 20th.

Research direction

Reproduce this on a Japanese WordPress site with Post by Email and Publicize connections enabled, using an email containing [publicize off]. Compare Jetpack's handling with the reported wp.com behavior; done means the post is published without sending social media messages.
