Jamie, my only quibble would be that colo(u)rs don't
necessarily come through on all systems. For internal
mail, that suggestion might work, if everyone uses the
same mail client. But there are lots of circumstances
where it won't . . .
Also, I just have to ask: Was the capitalized
CORRECTION in your subject line ironic?? :)
