That has been one of the issues with the software that FTE is run on.
You should see what it does to the formatting of a PM that I send out as a form letter.
It's so screwed up I think it faster to just retype it each time. But there is a trick.
Click the Source button and they try it. That will give you the option to enter the HYML coding.
Then just click it again or hit Preview.
