small gotcha with blogger's compose mode

I had noted this before, but not documented it - copy-paste into the compose window does not work with (at least my installation of) IE8. Copy-paste only works into the Edit HTML section, but that strips out all links. So, for copy-pasting long posts with links like this one, I used Firefox. Why do I not use Firefox all the time for blogger? Because I have multiple google accounts for different blogs, and as of it seems easier to open one in a different browser than go through google's hoops for multiple login (if at all it is possible).
