| I'm seeing that almost every paragraph gets at least one, sometimes two, spans associated with it. span class="996472212-19062003" for example. I'm using the htmlCleanup and Radio plug-ins. Can you help me understand what these spans are meant to do?

If I had any idea what they're meant to do, I would tell you! :-)
It's an Outlook-ism...Outlook's HTML editors add the spans when building the HTML. Not sure why. I've considered adding code to remove them, but I'm not completely sure we can always identify them correctly to remove them, without removing anything else that you might have wanted.
If it _really_ bothers you, the next version will allow you to compose in plain text, which will bypass Outlook's HTML editors. Not really a fix, but it will be another way to compose your message if you want to have complete control over your HTML.

| Oh, ok. I had just assumed that they were being dropped in by NG or one of the plug-ins. If you can identify them and strip 'em out, that'd be great for me but it's not a huge priority. I don't know if other users would want them pulled out and/or use spans for anything else.

I don't think anyone would mind if they removed them...but, we'd need to a) make sure that removal wouldn't affect anything else (which it shouldn't, but I'm not convinced yet that that would be the case 100% of the time), and b) we could absolutely identify these to remove, without removing any spans that were there intentionally.
It's on the list... : )

| These span tags are stripped in version 1.3.

| Is there any way to combine the two? Use Outlook to do most of the formatting, then pass it onto a text editor to fine-tune the results before finally posting it to the blog?

| The only thing that immediately comes to mind is start composing in HTML, then view/source, copy the HTML, switch to plain text, and copy it in...

That does the trick! I had not noticed the Plain Text feature since I've upgraded... this is going to be the ticket that makes NewsGator my primary posting tool, now!
And, this fulfills my request about CSS classes, too, since I can now enter them directly!
Thanks, Greg, for a great product!
