Excellent. I'd love to add these features which (as you can tell from my tardy reply) might take a while. I'm in the middle of making some significant changes to mediawiki.el so I can't say when I'll finish that and have time to focus on the necessary changes to weblogger.el. > The other bug is that the body text is sent to Wordpress with soft > linefeeds.

M-x auto-fill-mode RET M-x longlines-mode RET and then, before posting it, turn off long lines mode: M-x longlines-mode RET Since this is a common complaint, it'd be good to automate this and document what needs to be done.
