Teresa came up with a novel, easy way to post HTML-formatted messages in the forum. She types and formats her messages in Rich Text Format (RTF) on Outlook Express (Outlook works, too - and so may many other e-mail programs or word processors that produce RTF).
Once the document is spell-checked and perfect in every way, right-click on the Outlook document and choose "view source" - a window will open that shows your document with all the HTML tags visible (HTML tags are those thingies enclosed in angle brackets). Highlight and then copy the whole shebang, with all the HTML tags, and then paste it into the "Reply to thread" box. Hit "submit message," and your masterpiece will appear in the Forum. I tried it, and even got a clickable link in the message I tried.
