Ah yes. Let's keep the decades old stuff going. Where did I put my DOS 5 disks. :)
It would be cool if outlook could take my bold text and make it * * and _ _ sounds like that would be good. Let the clients do the work. I really don't care how outlook formats it :) as long as the word is bold.

Mosh's example is a little over the top. *bold* and _italic_ are actually the 'standard' forms of emphasis in Usenet, dating back more than a decade (now, that makes me feel old!). I've encountered several email clients that use this sort of annotation to embolden and italicize text - in fact, open up MS Word and you'll see it converts *bold* and _italic_ automatically for you! Jochem's point is that <em> and <strong> are better ways to add emphasis in HTML (rather than <b> and <i>).
