How to paste in simple HTML
 

As an admin I'd like to be able to copy and paste HTML into a post. Is this possible easily because I cannot seem to find out how.

Example: I receive and email/text file with something like:
http://vb.ma7room.com/host.com/image.gif

I'd like to paste that into a new post and have the image/hyperlink work ok.

Thanks,
Patrick
