 * I was informed that Postie directly adds posts you submit to the SQL database,
   thus bypassing WordPress’s standard publishing routines. For obvious reasons,
   that’s slightly concerning to me. I’d appreciate confirmation of this if at all
   possible. This also has the added, albeit minor, thread attached of I use a scheduling
   plugin with the blog and if Postie is going to be doing that, it will make that
   particular plugin somewhat useless. Thanks for any feedback.

 * Postie does not use direct SQL to add posts, is calls the standard wp_insert_post()
   function.
