HTML coded email

HTML coded email

Is it possible to copy/past HTML coded email message into the body of an email template? 

When I tried, the code wasn't converted to the graphic email I wanted.  I'm not a coder (I get the code from my developer in a separate doc and copy/paste it when using SalesForce -- but it didn't work in Zoho . . .)

Is this possible?  Or did I do something wrong with my setup?
