It doesn't seem to be, but then it MUST be because with other clients
the HTML comes through fine. Here is code using the IXR library and I
am getting the same result... HTML entities in the post:

include('IXR_Library.inc.php');
$client = new IXR_Client('http://127.0.0.1:2006/devwp/xmlrpc.php');


if (!$client->query('blogger.newPost', '', '', 'admin', 'chrislottt',
'<title>LinkLog</title><category>2</category><p><strong>bold
statement</strong></p>', 1)) {
   die('An error occurred -
'.$client->getErrorCode().":".$client->getErrorMessage());
}

echo $client->getResponse();
