    Please do not do this.  It may look catchy, but it can cause
SERIOUS problems for some people.  Whether or not it works depends
totally on the hardware and software the recipient has.  You have no
control over this.  The technique (usually, at least) depends on
imbedded, non-standard control characters which can wreak havoc on
some recipients' terminals and personal computers.  It's a very bad
idea.  Please avoid picking up bad habits.
