An interesting way to do it is to send the message, but one letter at a time, and with sleep.

Of course that has a possibility of coming out as ".txet gnillorcs fo.txet gnillorcs f.txet gnillorcs .txet gnillorcs.txet gnillorc.txet gnillor.txet gnillo.txet gnill.txet gnil.txet gni.txet gn.txet g.txet .txet.txe.tx.t." if you macro it, in which case just use a variable to prevent it.

Please don't offer help when you don't know what you're talking about. Random untested suggestions benefit no one.

DS supports only a limited subset of HTML, unless you're actually working in the browser itself. Tables and many other features are not supported in the text output. Neither is the accursed marquee tag.
