Can't resist.

My MTClient software has come quite a way. I have some fit–and–finish issues, and three major functions to implement (save and restore posts, post previews and preferences).

But the software is most eminently useful. I've been posting here with the development versions for the last few, and I've carved away a lot of obstructions. Like you can drag and drop text between the main text and extended text editors. And from Mozilla to the editor. You can actually do it from IE, but it comes over as rich text with embedded hypertext, fonts and such...not good for my purposes. So with IE you have to "paste unformatted" until I get a better way of doing that. Couple of days, I'd say.

Did I mention the spell checker? It does that squiggly line thing, which is possible to shut off in favor of bulk spell checking. And there's a thesaurus just because I wanted one. The spell checker I needed. Both need smoother integration of their configuration but there they are.

I honestly think MTClient is already better for posting to Movable Type blogs than w.Bloggar (because it accesses all MT post fields), Zempt (because it handles Microsoft extended ASCII properly and the controls, being native Windows controls, behave exactly as a Windows user expects), and SharpMT (because it has the spell checker and actually retrieves and edits posts rather than launching your browser when you want to edit a post).
