Bold, Print and Extract Data from Lotus Notes using VB.Net

Question

I have been searching every where and I am unable to find how to bold a word that I am including into the body of a Lotus Notes Email.
I also want the Email to physically print after the email is created.
When I receive this email back from the client, I would like to extract specific information from the body.
Can anyone help me? The attached the class code is extremely basic because I am figuring all of this out by myself and I have never taken a VB or VB.Net class.
Thanks to everyone in advance for any assistance.
