For what it's worth, don't bother with the checks.  If you switch over to 
Paytrust (http://www.paytrust.com) you can still do you bill paying online, 
without touching a check.  Yes, it costs money.  Honestly, the lack of hassle 
(no stamps, no paper checks) is worth it to me.  And . . . you can happily 
download a QIF and suck it into GNUCash.  Yes, QIF sucks, but it does work, 
and work quite nicely.  The nice thing when it's all done is the CD you can 
get with all your financial records for the year.  Much better than 20 pounds 
of dead trees.  Assuming of course the CD's survive
