I don't think the SMTP/IMAP/POP protocols actually support that...

Can you provide more details? You want to change it on your local machine?

An e-mail subject is plain text, as are the rest of the contents of the header.
You cannot assign a font, much less modify font properties.

There is a trick to hard code a message ID, which will cause Outlook to
flag it... I can't remember how to do it (or find it right now).

I'd say this is something that will have to be supported by the mail
client...
