What else can I do?
Well what do you what to do? (That was the insert horizontal line tool).
You will note, that when I quoted your message, I got the font and colors (mostly). All I had to do is select the text from my browser and paste it in my message window. No muss, no fuss. This trick may also work when you are composing articles from a web page, although as noted in message #15 not all the HTML thingies are supported by JimRob so you will have to be sure that preview looks ok.
If you are composing your magnum opus, you may want to take a while to consider it. Click on File/Save and your message will be saved in "drafts" so you can review it when you are sober.
Also for your magnum opus, you may want to paste your message into Word, if you have it. Had I done that here, I would have found a few more stupid-non-spelling errors.
Another think that I like, is that because I am composing in a separate window, it's easier to surf around to find links, etc., without losing my place.
