 You can make it intrepret all HTML code.  However, you could only include a 
picture that was uploaded to your own webspace, and not upload one to the 
server.  Never bothered me, as I've always used a message board for that: 
posting text messages.

If you can, go for Phorum.  It's certainly the best I've managed to find, and 
I have scoured the web!
