It's a slick feature for creating Calendar appointments. If you tap on the highlighted date it gives you the opportunity to create a new appointment in your Calendar App (and if you have iCloud it will sync with all of your devices). It's a standard Apple feature in all of their products.An anyone explain why when I send an email the word tonight and sometimes a date is high lighted in another colour?

Well, I guess that works too!Thank you both for asking and replying. I thought underlining was to make the reader focus on the date.
Any date should already be highlighted. In the example above you can see both "tonight" and the specific date are highlighted.Thank you,
Is there a way to highlight a selected word or future date.?
Mail on the iPad doesn't have the ability to format text, but there are workarounds. Have a look at the link I mentioned.Thanks, i can highlight,what I was trying to ask was can I underline specific words ( not just dates)I wish to underline in my email messages for the recipient to see? And or change its colour
Have 3 accounts gmail,outlook and email anywhere.
Not sure if this is relevant

D'oh! I completely forgot about that "enhancement". Thanks very much...my bad...slinking off to corner of room now.Sorry, but I've got to step in and tell y'all that Mail does have the ability to format text; it's one of the features in the new iOS 5.0. You can make text bold, italicized or underlined (or all three at once). Here's how:
Open Mail and start a new message. Then highlight the the text you want to format by dragging you finger over it (or, just "Select" one word by holding it and pressing select). Release the text and the Cut, Copy or Paste menu comes up. Tap the right arrow.
The new formatting options will come up (you'll see a tab titled "BIU"). Tap the button with the formatting icons. A new little pop-up will appear with the words Bold, Italics, and Underline.
Select any or all of the formatting options. When you are done, just tap a blank space outside the highlighted word(s).
You can format just one word all the way up to the whole message. Just highlight the words you want to format and go to town.
I hardly ever use it, because it is a pain to (1) remember how to get to it and (2) go through all those steps. But, if you want emphasis, that's the way Apple has enabled it.
