It depends on your mail client. I would guess that you are not using a terminal-based client (like /usr/bin/mail) to read the mail message. Some clients (Outlook,InterOffice) allow messages written in html, so try something like....
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

export MAILTO="recipient@mail.com"
export SUBJECT="test message"
(
 echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
 echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
 echo "Content-Type: text/html"
 echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 echo "<HTML><BODY>"
 echo "Test to see if <B>bold</B> works."
 echo "</BODY></HTML>"
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILTO

NAME

       sensible-mda - a generic local MDA router for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS

       sensible-mda from to detail client-addr

DESCRIPTION

       sensible-mda  is used to simplify the installation and configuration of sendmail(8) , or other MTAs for use on Debian systems.  With sensi-
       ble-mda, sendmail can support a plethora of MDAs (procmail, maildrop, deliver, etc.) without having  pick any one of them as required.

FUNCTION

       sensible-mda is called by sendmail as a local mailer when the following exists in sendmail.mc:
       define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `sensible-mda $g $u $h ${client_addr}')dnl

       sensible-mda will look for the following MDAs (in this order), and pass the mail on to the first SUID MDA found (Or first found MDA, if run
       w/euid=root): procmail(1), maildrop(1), deliver(8), mail.local(8)

OPTIONS

       from   The sender of this email (sendmail $g variable)

       to     The recipient of this email (sendmail $u variable)

       detail The detail portion of the recipient userid (sendmail $h variable) - ie:
	      cowboy+sendmail@debian.org

       client-addr
	      TCP/IP address of the sender (sendmail ${client_addr} variable) Not used (for the nonce)

FILES

	      sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
	      actual sendmail configuration file (treated as a binary file)
