If you apply a style then the resultant will not be a string.
$Post =.
boldFirstSentence[str_String] :=
Module[
{pos = StringPosition[str, "." | "!" | "?"], p},
If [Length[pos] == 0, str,
p = pos[[1, 1]];
StringForm["``" <> StringDrop[str, p],
Style[StringTake[str, p], Bold]]]];
myString = "This is boldface. The rest is not.";
boldFirstSentence[myString]
StringForm["`` The rest is not.",
Style["This is boldface.", Bold]]
Or you can have it applied automatically to all string output
$Post = If[Head[#] === String, boldFirstSentence[#], #] &;
myString
StringForm["`` The rest is not.",
Style["This is boldface.", Bold]]
