Why Post Magazine is called Post Magazine

I've learnt something already today and it's only lunch time! This morning I learnt why Post Magazine is called Post Magazine when it covers the insurance industry and has nothing to do with post whatsoever. I ponder this question every Thursday when I'm putting together the insurance industry newsletter. Today, inspired by my new blog, I decided to find out. According to the Post website:
Post Magazine first appeared on Saturday 25 July 1840, just seven months after the introduction of the Penny Post and was the first publication anywhere in the world to be sent by post - hence its name.
This the best thing I've learnt so far.
