No I was referring to answering on the bottom of the e-mail, not on the top. 
Some people ignore 'top posted' messages. I don't, but with the Paypal 
functionality you can use all the help you need. 

I have never looked at how to incoporate the Paypal functionality in my IC 
websites, and because I don't have a need for it (and expect it will be 
quite a bit of tinkering) it has low priority. 

But a button is the [button]  tag:

And a link you can create with for example the [area] tag:
