Pretty much the answer to this is NO!

The best solution is to create your own form over which you have total control and then use this in place of the standard message box.

If you want the mail to have red color and font etc, you can change the mail type to HTML format and use HTML tags to give the color and other attributes to the mails.
Ahh, perhaps I misunderstood the question, sanjaykattimani is correct in that you can do this with HTML mail though you may or may not want this as some clients cannot handle HTML mail.
Nope even u may be right tim, as the question says message box and as we all know there wont be any message box in the mail. Perhaps he wants to say that after sending the mail he want to display a message box with red color [probly invalid mail ids??]

Hi guys,
   Sorry for confusing u. The message box that i meant is the contain that we type our message on it. Furthermore, if we type our message from outlook we can change the color, font and size as well. But, from vb do u think is it possible??? Well, HTML maybe is one of the solution. thanks a lot.
