Re: colors in messages
What sort of messages??? you can use vt terminal encoding to make things change colour/flash, or for email, use html and if the MUA copes with HTML you'll get colours. -- martin On 5/18/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to introduce color into my messages, particularly to the background.

colors in messages
I would like to introduce color into my messages, particularly to the background. How can I do this? Is there a sequence of characters that I can put into a message that will change the background of the rest of the message (or until a similar sequence is encountered) to the color designated by this sequence, and if so, what is the color/sequence relationship?
