Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
You can only use HTML tags in the body of the message, not in other fields. The maintainer of the script has the option of allowing or disallowing any HTML in the Message part of your posting. If they disallow it, the script will just throw out everything in <>'s. If they allow it, your html markup will appear in the posting. It can't hurt to try.
Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?
Colons may appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. You can delete any of the text you do not wish to use and retain lines which help clarify your reply. These lines will appear with your message when you post it and can help the reader to understand the relevance of your reply without haveg to go back to the previous message.
Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it should then appear.
