Re: [Evolution] How to highlight/color the background for particular words, in HTML

[Swarup <dinbandhu sprynet com>]

or what about this: if the background for selected words has been
colored using another program such as a word processor, and then that
text is pasted into an evo HTML email, is there a way to get evo to
preserve the background color when it posts the mail? The background
color appears just fine when I paste it into evo, but when I send the
mail the color disappears.
