I take it you *know* they view their mail exclusively on the google website, without any "themes" being available that might affect the display formatting, and you also looked at it on the google website using the same browser version as they use and the same browser settings, on the same platform. Use a MUA, or a different browser, or a mobile phone and all bets are off. > As I recall the formatting > came through ok.

But for a random sample, I would expect nearly everybody who saw the asterisks in an email to understand them, and probably ~60% with the underscores. But asking them in the abstract without showing them, far fewer would claim to know. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Always borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
