To give you some feedback: I don't see any colour formatting. But this is, because my mailer 
doesn't support any HTML. Honestly, I like it this way. 

To see, who wrote what, you use the citation marks ('>') and leave the names mentioned above (On 
<date> xyz wrote) the email. So you can see clearly, who said what.

This is very likely BBCode. This is used to make the use of forums safer. (You can insert malicious 
code into HTML, with BBCode this isn't possible.)

I use only a very small set of smileys, where I know for sure what they mean. So I personally 
restrict myself to :) and ;) I think, those are more than sufficient. (At least, they are for me)
