Hello Jon, tough one. - you could use — e.g. — GIMP or LaTeX to create a picture which you attach to the message. This works on every machine/client the recipient is using, but fails your «distribute it in the body of a mutt» criterion; - mathematical Unicode blocks [1] have some styled lettering (bold, italic, etc.); there are also blocks for playing cards symbols. You could abuse those — with the help of xcompose or translating scripts [2] — to hack some formatting into your messages. Unfortunately, I do not think it is possible to obtain «alignment» with this method in a way that is rendered correctly on every client. I hope this helps even a bit; I am curious to see the solutions proposed by other mutters —F [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols#Latin_letters [2] https://boldtext.io/
