I have been told by the elderly president of a club I belong to that when I write on the club's mailing list, it must be in blue. I would like to do this without using HTML. I use alpine to send and receive email : I tried adding the ASCII codes that produce colored text in a X terminal, for example the command echo -e "This is a test of \e[3;91m italic red \e[0m ", but they are ignored in an e-mail message body.
Is there some way of producing colored text without using HTML ? Roger https://useplaintext.email/
