If you need bold and colors, then you have to use HTML e-mail. There's an example on the mail() page, look at #example 4: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

There are some tips to apply CSS and make them work on mail clients, like inline CSS instead of using external or style element. Search on google for html email css.

bye!
