ASCII Text formatting

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a formatted text.
That is., I have a plain text composed to send it through an Email using mailx.
I need to change the formatting of the text like BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERINED, COLOURED, INDENT etc.,

First of all, is it possible in UNIX?
If yes, please let me know how to do that.

I may be crazy giving you the example, we have seen some of the text formatting available while you are sending scraps to your friends in orkut form.

I'm expecting something like that. May be its not soo easy to achieve in UNIX.

Please let me know is it possible in UNIX shell scripting.

FYI. I'm using KSH.

Regards
Mohan Kumar CS
