how to display in bold
Hi,
i am using mailx option to send mail from unix

In the body of the mail i want certain numbers to be displayed in bold

Is there any way to do it

If so, can anyone help me in this regard.

A usual way is to surround the text with "*", like this is *bold text*.
That might translate to a bold typeface depending on the mail client used on the other side. Alternatively, you could format your whole mail in html but that would probably be cumbersome.
