What WYSIWYG HTML editor should I give a novice [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
Are there any free open source HTML editors?

I have a friend who wants to have a simple website for his business. But he is a total HTML novice. I'm willing to set up his hosting for him, and teach him how to upload content to it. I'll even stub out the web site for him. However, I don't want to maintain it for the rest of eternity - so I'd like to set him up with a WYSIWYG HTML editor.

What should I set him up with? (I prefer Free of course, but I don't care if its open-source or not)
