As a few folks may know,I have ingame emails I call INFOMAIL.
These are basically ingame emails I FWD out to answer frequent questions or to share basic knowledge.
I recently had the Tailoring forum help me tweek a couple down for grammer and formating.
One was my own advertisement for my business, the other was a explanation of sorts for BioEngineer Enhanced Clothing.
I am posting my LABELS & SIGNS one here.
This is to receive comments, or recommendations from the general populace.
Please feel free to post what you think of this mail (or if you would like a copy for yourself PM me with your server and player name 
)
)Keep in mind it is made for INGAME EMAILS.
Formatting here may show odd marks or be spaced differently.
(like the \#code in front of coloring numbers..those do not show INGAME)

You can now copy from any 'active' text in game and paste into emails, chat, /note, macros.
This is attached to your Windows Clipboard, so you can also copy text out side of the game, then paste it while playing,
or copy it into your 'notes' {which is found in your login profile folder contained in the SWG directory} then access ingame via /note.

Check your sign or wait for product to be done to see if typing is correct.

-General Color
Color may be applied to structure names, bags/backpacks, basic text, and certain chat.
Basic text includes Emails, descriptions area, bio, and /note.
Chat that may be colored includes auction, vendor barking, AFK reply, reply, guild. Basically everything except spoken chat like yell, say, and shout.

To add color you will need to type \\# before the #'s that match the color you want, just before the word(s) you want that color.
Just press \\ once! It and the #'s may disappear if done correctly, though not always depending what you are naming.
{ei: \\#00ff00 will give you this \#00ff00bright green\#ffffff}

For highlighting colored text you may want to ENTER a few times down past your last typed line.
Then begin highlighting from the bottom empty lines you just created.
This will allow you to highlight the \\ & #s at the beginning of the lines easier.

For chat, place a period (or anything really) before the \\ or you will speak the #'s instead of haveing colored chat.
Here are some basic colors.
Type \\# and the corresponding #'s before your words you want colorized.
Remember to use the white code if wanting to return to normal looking text.

It may take some practice to highlight correctly, and even more to adjust everything to the look you want.
Above all play with it and try out all you can.

That's a really great guide! There is one in the Architect FAQ as well but it's not as easy to understand. Maybe you could asked them to link to your post?
