sending out an email which has the from/subject/date-etc-line colo

[Guest]

does anybody know how to send out an email with the
from/subject/date-etc-line colored for the recipient in outlook.
without the recipient prior adjustments of settings.
without prior resetting of rules and alerts options.

thanks in advance.

That's not possible. The recipient controls the look of mail in their Inbox folder view.

hello sue,
ive managed to find a solution, not sure if this is what you had in mind
though,
but it solves my problem: coloring the mail so that the recipient will
notice it among other mails, with default settings.

new email--> actions--> follow up--> add reminder--> flag to: read (for
example)
this will make the mail that you send appear in color for the recipient.

there is also an option to pick colors, but it doesnt seem to be working.
the color for the mail to appear in might be linked to the color the
recipient has set for his/her flags (or default settings).

The color of your message title cannot be made to appear in color on
someone else's machine.

im sorry i forgot to mention a crucial part of the process:

its been tested by multiple people and it proved to work.

That only works, of course, if the recipient is using the default automatic formatting rules. Bottom line is still that the recipient has the final word. If they don't like your messages appearing in color, they can change the rules.
