If you want to send text with different formatting you have to also send information about this formatting that the receiver can use to display the text as requested.

I was just thinking, if you enter and format text in a RichTextBox, you could just send the already formatted rtf codes from the RTB.rtf property... but you would also have to apply some more care to handle the rtf codes that span several lines even if plain text is only one word (one tip is to remove all 'vbCrLf's in the rtf code to transfer it in one line)
