Please don't do this, unless you're willing to go to the trouble of 
identifying the background color, choosing the foreground color 
appropriately, and providing the user (who may not have write permission 
on the NAnt file) to customize it.  Red on black is difficult to read, 
and, with the wrong font, even red on white is difficult.  Changing the 
background only would be easier to spot, but garish on an overall black 
background.  A quick read of the documentation suggests that the Console 
object doesn't have enough colors defined to do a good job.  Finally, 
this can interact poorly with people connecting over telnet/rsh/ssh 
connections.

Besides, the original question here was about the email, not the console 
output, and asked to get away from the red, not add more red.
