Setting the color of the selected text in Mail.app (Leopard) ?

Hi

Is there a way to do it? From what i googled, on tiger it wasn’t possible but even that might be wrong…

I can record with the new automator setting the color, but it’s unsuitable since i’m looking for a solution that runs instantly and doesn’t depend on the previously set color by the user.

Thanks for any help on this!
