I've found an easy way to make the html work.
you just copy and paste the web page you want into the yahoo email (I think there's a couple others too for which this trick works)then click on "show html" in the lower right hand corner of the email creation box. that shows the html. copy and paste that html into the freerepublic post box.
all the tags work.
all the tags work."
I went to my Yahoo email and tried to figure it out and couldn't. I'm to tired presently to work on it anymore. Maybe I'll contact you later for futher instructions, thanks.
