Sorry to bother you all...

I know that this question has been asked several times in the FAQ..  After
reading some answers, I am still having a lot of trouble making it work.
Could someone please kindly show me how it could be done?  Thanks in
advance..

It can be done, but it's a secret and I'd have to kill you if I told
you. In short: *don't* even think of doing it. It can be desastrous for
certain kinds of terminals that cannot deal with the ansi sequences
you'd need to employ. Bad idea, bad style, superflous. In short - a
No-No. If you want that sort of stuff, use Mickysoftware and get on
everybody's nerves with html mime-attachments. Remember: email is ascii
only.

Later,
Robin

I feel like being "picky" today.  I think it is more appropriate to
describe email as "textual" since, even with pine, you can send email
character sets which are not "ascii".
