I want to be able to change the color of text in the subject line of an
email. I want to be able to write SECOND REQUEST in RED so it will stand out
in their inbox. I know that I can use High Importance but that is not enough.

Thank you,

Sue Hargrave

No mail protocol allows you to control this.

You can change the subject line to red but you have to do it everytime you
send an email.

Except that there's no way to affect what the users system is going to do
when it gets your message.

Basically, there's no way to change the color of what the recipient will
see.

You cannot control the color the recipient will see.

I'm not sure you can. I'm also wondering why you're asking about gmail
in an outlook 'group.

If you're using outlook, rather than the web interface, to collect email
from gmail, you may be able to change the colour of specific messages
_within outlook_ - it may for example be possible to make gmail emails
appear in a different colour "lint" (-:. But that'll just be within your
outlook - they won't look red to the recipient.

It's 2023, I hope some of you will receive this message!! Steve, anyway you can explain the process to do color in subject line? I understand its only possibble once at a time. And when I copy your email here it doesnt work, if you could speel it out with spaces , maybe it will become fully visible. If you see this or anyone else knowing how to do it, a Huge Thanks for the return!!!
