FYI, I've been messing with mobile blogging (moblogging) with my
Newton. There are some test posts here:
<http://dumb.blogs.com/stuff/>. This is being posted on TypePad
<http://typepad.com>, which is basically Movable Type
<http://www.movabletype.org/>.

Couple things I found out:

(1) Movable type didn't like the ellipses in my message: Testing 1...
2... 3...
becomes: Testing =?windows-1252?Q?1=85 2=85 3=85?=

Odd, I thought everything worked on Unicode these days :)

(2) To get the images, I am checking "Format: Image (GIF)" instead of
"Format: Default" in Mail V.

(3) It only does the visible page. i.e., if your note is larger than
can be displayed on the screen,
it is cut off. e.g., there is more stuff below the arrow that didn't
get imaged on this page:
<http://dumb.blogs.com/stuff/2004/04/last_test_for_n.html>.

(4) If you don't draw a new note line underneath a note that is the
last note, the blank area below it gets imaged.

However, I think I still shall have some fun with this :)
