Using TextBold in MailSend

I have a form which upon selecting a Submit button, sends an email. Is it possible to make certain words of the email bold or a change the color so that it stands out to the person receiving the email? I am using formula language.

Thanks -

I think it's not possible. Even in LotusScript you cannot do everything you want, boldface is possible but changing colours isn't. You could try to send HTML emails, but that's quite a lot of work, since you have to bypass the normal Domino send mechanism. See

So sorry...:-$

Luckily I said "I think it's not possible". It seems that there are ways in R6 to create new colours (CreateColorObject) and fonts (GetNotesFont). I have yet to try these gadgets, and I wonder how the results are when the mail is sent out to an Internet address.

Colors work, fonts work if the other person has the font. When you start creating tables, or embedding objects, not sure. Then, I think, you have to use the mime objects and reference the notes address on a server that is available to the sender, like sending a web page. Could be wrong, haven't tested html email lately :)
