I'm sure he'll declare that it *is* that simple: just compose the mail in HTML, and set the composer to specify a blue font color. The fact that this won't work for all recipient mail clients won't matter to him, since it *will* work for *his* mail client. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
