In the email i should get these head & tail lines in bold,more font with some color

It totally depends upon the tool the recipient is using to read the mail.
Outlook, Blackberry, HTML, etc.

Plain text does not contain formatting information.

You would need to send HTML.

See https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...x-command.html

Now, what will happen to somebody not using an HTML capable mail reader?

we are using Outlook
Html can be printed in body of email

Often people want alert emails that can be read on handhelds.
