I've never been much of a fan of that. Actually that's one of the things I didn't like about Thunderbird when I tried it: it kept replacing *'s and _'s with formatting even what I was in the supposed "plaintext" mode. Of course, if the *'s and _'s stay intact when the text is bolded/etc, then I can't say I'd care quite so much.
