Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason we're not using "B" and "I" to indicate Bold and Italic? I don't care either way, but am curious as to why.
For what it's worth, Thunderbird (what I'm using now) uses a capital letter "A". It's just hard to tell the difference between an italic "A" and a non-italic "A". - sd On 3/12/2012 7:39 AM, Kévin PEIGNOT wrote: > Hi everyone > > Sorry to have been off so much time (I'm very busy these times). > > In my part, I prefer Uppercases ones, just because they seems me more > beautiful : I don't think upper or lower are more or less confusing.
