Ah. Yes, slrn does that also for newsgroups. I've always thought of |
| 18 |
that as 'emphasis' and not 'bold', probably because I see it more |
| 19 |
often printed with the asterisks then as bold text. So my apologies |
| 20 |
that Dale's reference was lost on me. |

However, this begs the question: on such a mail reader, if I write: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
rm -rf *.* |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
does it show up just as 'rm -rf <one extra dark dot>'? ;) |

I am so happy that Willetta is in my life. What would I do without her? |
| 31 |
Probably go insane. In fact, I am insanely in love with Willetta, so I am |
| 32 |
insane right now... but... |
