Kind of a silly question...
I'd like to be able to post using bold and italics. My young college friend attempted to explain how to me, but I confess that I didn't understand one word in twelve that he told me. So, can someone here pleeeeeze tell me how? This old dog really needs this new trick. I thank you in advance!

bracket < then b then bracket> at front of print you want in bold
bracket< then slash/ then b then bracket>

for italic it's the same only with an i


it's in the HTML lookup table too...(when you hit reply you'll see the smiles lookup table and the HTML lookup table above subject line in message options
