I don't know for certain.  But I have to say that the point package called
SemPoint for Windows had a really nice mode.  It used Windows fonts to
portray/display the actual styles on characters in FTN messages, in response to
the style codes.  It called the mode something like 'rich text'.

Cheers,
Paul.
