Older versions of Netscape have a page composer that works well enough.
You rarely need more then knowing how to type HTML, though, for FR postings/replies IMO.
I'd ask Southack.
His are thee best!

The easiest tool is simply MS Outlook Express. Create a new email message, type in your message, use MS Outlook Express to edit, highlight, bold, Italicize, indent, and change colors, then click on the "Source" tab down at the bottom.
Then copy all of the HTML code that you see in between the first <DIV> and last </DIV> tags.
Paste that code in to your FR post. You're done!

Thanks for the ping. Sorry DoctorZin. I don't use an editor. I know and write html. I have heard positive things about http://www.ultraedit.com from one of the programmers I work with. I'm sure you will get great advice from other freepers though.
If you use Mozilla it's all integrated into the browser. Extensions are wonderful things.
When you are multi-tasking between work and play MS FrontPage is flawless on FR. That assuming basic 'cut and paste' html knowledge.
FWIW, I hand code my FR comments. If you don't want any graphics or special effects, like italics or bold, you can just type your comment and post it.If you need to learn a little HTML, I recommend this place.
You don't need one. Just do the html in your post.
Bump for future reference
I create beautiful, eye-catching, and massively informative posts all throughout the web just writing things out using a small set of tags:
i
b
blockquote
a
ul
ol
img
Those are all you need for most things.
I just freehand my posts, as do most of the posters here. A handful of HTML tags are all you really need.
But, real HTML guys use Hot Dog, from Sausage Software. I have used it since version 2.0 in 1995. Excellent program if you like to get into the nuts and bolts of the code.
