Indeed, ethereal is very useful.

I borrowed a windows laptop and tried to install ecto, but it complained
about .NET being too old.  If you or someone else can capture a session
where ecto is used to write a new post, that would be helpful in
tracking down why some ecto users are getting the extra default
category.  I think everything else is resolved.

Thanks for the help.
