Format part of email body (bold some of the text) in Powershell

Hi,

After a lot og googling without finding an answer I have come to you guys. I’ll try to keep this as short and concise as possible.

The powershell script basically:

• Retrives a lot of values from an ADObject
• Creates an email draft
• Opens a new outlook window with all the information (recipient, subject, body) filled out (but not sent)

The relevant part of the code is:

$emailtext ="Hi, Please add <b>$fullname</b> to <b>$services</b> <b>Firstname:</b> $givenname <b>Surname:</b> $surname <b>Username:</b> $user <b>Email:</b> $email <b>Title:</b> $title <b>Manager:</b> $manager <b>Department:</b> $department <b>Office location:</b> $office <b>Start date:</b> $startdate Thanks!" $mailobject = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application $mail = $mailobject.CreateItem(0) $mail.to = "$desiredemails" $mail.Subject = "Please add new employee $fullname to $desiredservices" $mail.Body = "$emailtext" $mail.Display() 

The <b>text</b> obviously doesn’t do anything. If I use the Send-MailMessage I could get bold text with parameters, but this method above would be ideal. So my question is:

Is it possible to get the text above marked with <b></b> to appear bold when the outlook window pops up?

Thanks!
