Asterisks are not equal to quotation marks. They are the email 
equivalent of BOLD or ITALICS, but since plain-text email is the only 
accepted format for email, we use *asterisks* as a substitute (just 
as on typewriters, you used underline for what would be in italics in 
a printed book).

No, I'm not using any special meaning.

Asterisks are not quotation marks.
