 * Hello guys,
 * I have an text in html format and sending email to my blog. Postie plugin reads
   it as plain and everything is fine. It reads the format and posts normal, but
   I cannot add tags. Adding tags: <tag1> like this in html format is not working.
   If I choose to read the text in html format, then it works but then my text stays
   in html format.
 * What setup should I use for tags?
 * My text looks like this _New games_ site **content**
 * Basically it has some makeup, hyperlinks and so on.
 * Thank you

 * You don’t use html markup for tags. See [http://postieplugin.com/faq/override-post-tags/](http://postieplugin.com/faq/override-post-tags/)

 * Sorry I didn’t read your message close enough.
 * I just tested this ad it seems to work in both the plain and html cases so there
   must be something about your email that is causing Postie to not see the “tags:”
   marker.
 * Please send a sample email that doesn’t work to [test@postieplugin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postie-tag-function-usage/test@postieplugin.com?output_format=md)
   and leave a note here and I will take a look.

 * Thanks Wayne, I think email was sent as plain. So it is good now.
 * Thank you.
