or even a "upload file" button on the submission forms, with a little pulldown indicating if hte file contains your complete post, or just some code that should be wrapped in CODE tags and appended to what you type in the browser.

    File uploads would probably raise security issues noone wants to handle... but on the other hand, we can upload images after we reach a certain level (trusted or just an extra feature?). It would be nice to upload some code, then come to a preview page as usual, I agree...

    What one maybe would really like would be an upload script, a'la

    [prompt]# monkupload script.pl
    perhaps? That would require having some kind of list of "pending" submissions somewhere I guess, so one could lay the final touches via a browser, as usual. I am only speculating here, but with some special markup possible in the uploaded file, it could be a nice feature...

    Of course, I am quite happy enough with copy/paste, so I guess it is only my wish for more cool features in all situations that shows its ugly head again. :)
