Hello:

I wrote a subroutine which sends an email with the information that was sent via a registration form.

Is there a way that I can format the body of my email message so it looks more readable?

Here's is the body of the email in the subroutine: 
Member Name:  $name
Member ID:   $memberid
Telephone:     $phone
Email Address: $email
Guest Name(s):  $guest
Event Date:  $eventdate
Events:  $event
Payment:  $payment

Message:     $message

Is there a way that I can format the above into a two column table? Right now, my results appear as a sentence and it is difficult to read. Is it also possible to bold any of the text?

Thank you for any help in advance.

I'm including the entire subroutine in case you need to see the all the code.

sub send_confirmation_email
{
my %mail = (
        From     => "pperry1\@comcast.net",    # YOU SHOULD CHANGE THI
+S!
        To         => $email,
        Subject => "Event Registration Form Submitted",
        Message => ""
);
my $page;

        $mail{Message} = <<EOF;

    sendmail (%mail)
        or $page .= p (escapeHTML ("Oops, failure sending mail to $mai

    return (defined ($page) ? $page : "");
