To give you some feedback: I don't see any colour formatting. But this is,
because my mailer doesn't support any HTML. Honestly, I like it this way.
To see, who wrote what, you use the citation marks ('>') and leave the names
mentioned above (On <date> xyz wrote) the email. So you can see clearly, who
said what.

can insert malicious code into HTML, with BBCode this isn't possible.)

So I personally restrict myself to :) and ;) I think, those are more than
sufficient. (At least, they are for me) ;)
