Brian - this mailing list does not support any sort of typeface choice or 
formatting - it's simply ascii text.
Different mail readers may make some display formatting, for example showing 
quoted text in colour, or interpreting asterisks as *bold* or underscores as 
_underlined_ text, but you can't do much to influence it from the sending end.
