 * When I edit a post, the plugin adds “external” class twice to external links.

 * Weird… Did you add one in manually? Might you be using another external links
   plugin? Might you be using some kind of post content caching plugin?

 * No I didn’t add manually. The only plugins I have activated on my blog are: Head
   META Description, Optimal Title, WordPress Database Backup and now External Links.
 * When I create a post, it works perfectly. When I edit (no actual editing, just
   click on the edit link) that post and save it, all my external links have class“
   external external”. To rectify it, I have to delete classes of all links.
 * Here’s more… When I again edit the post (without deleting the classes) and save,
   the “external” class is added thrice (class=”external external external”). Which
   means, every time I click on edit and save, an extra “external” class is added.

 * this is a WP workflow error as far as I can tell, but I’ll add the fix to the
   next version nonetheless.
