What's an "asterix" ?? Do you mean: "asterisk" ??

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

don't NEED any of that stuff. MIME already defines a way to send and
interpret similar encodings using what is called "enriched/text". The
'mutt' mailer properly flags it as a mime-type document and interprets
it as such when reading the document. Any other mail tool that correctly
implements all the mime types should also do so. enriched/text supports
colors, bold, dim, underline, etc., so what more do you need for e-mail?
So, as the original poster meant/said:
Don't need no steenking HTML in our e-mail!
