Why Not Accept <A>?

Question: Why not accept <a> tags in iSnare.com at article submission?

Reason: We are sending articles for distribution to mail lists which are article announcement lists and most of them accepts only text formatted messages…

It is not because it is hard to add in the directory, I can just edit a few lines of code and edit the submission system to accept lgt;a> tags in the directory. BUT when the article will be distributed the <a> will be stripped out of from the article and any other HTML tags. Thus, if you have like <a href=”http://www.isnare.com”>Free Articles</a> in your bylines it will only appear as Free Articles and not linked. Result? When publishers will reprint your article, you will have no means of getting a link back from their sites…
