For me (and I think that I'm the only one who does it), it is just for EMPHASIS, instead of capitalizing or doing a <em>BOLD</em>. It is not any kind of real or defacto standard. Just an oddity on my part. Due mainly to my hatred of using HTML formatted email. It's not that I actually dislike HTML in general. I just despise some people's choices of fonts (like 6 point script, which I just can't read well) and wacky use of color (why do people use light yellow on light blue? like the nitwit who, years ago, put her font color to dark blue on black and the complained that she couldn't read the screen any more.)
