possible to specify font size/family/color...etc in Message

As the subject says is it possible to specify font attributes to text you send via "Message" command? I use this to keep me updated on the status of certain events and would like to make it more "pretty" if possible. :)

Can't do that now, but......

1. You could include a sound file with each update so you at least get an audible alert. different conditions could use different sound files..

or

2. Maybe make a loop to make Message Visible/Invisible and/or change position when it changes, to provide a different type of visual alert.

or

3. You could send messages to some type of Text Editor like WordPad and use the formatting tools available there. Update the message, and then change to focus to the editor.

Just a few quick thoughts, not really thought-out properly.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
