    Using Outlook 2K (not sure about previous versions), you can format the
coloration of messages in the way that you want to. Go to Tools > Organize,
click on the "Using Colors" option. For simple formatting, you can use the
limited options presented in the Organize window; for more complex
formatting options, choose "Automatic Formatting..." in the upper right
corner of the Organize window.
