If you suspect that any open items were posted in error (e.g. an incorrect amount, an unfamiliar charge), use the following link in order to find instructions on disputing the charge: * Failure to submit expense reports within 60 days ${bold} will result in the suspension ${normal} and placement of a hold." > /apps/powercdata/Unexpensed/User_Email_Msg_30.txt

Please help me how can we print in BOLD.

If you want to format your mail body. I would suggest using HTML instead.

You can use HTML <B> tag to specify bold text.

WHAT is not working? Try assigning <ESC>[0m to normal.
