 Hmm, this is misleading: there are no starts nor underscores above, so why
"bold" and "italic"?

 I don't see any regressions...

 No. This is on purpose, if we allow spaces inside a marked up word, there
are too many "false positives". It really does very strange thing to C++
code in the viewer (e.g. imagine how "int *p, *q" is going to be shown).
Maybe this should be an option as not everybody probably reads C++ code in
mail daily...

 Sorry, what do you mean? I.e. an example of what does it show wrongly?

 This can be done but I don't think it's so useful because the viewer (a)
should always be capable of showing both bold and italic and, (b) it can
always add stars/underscores back itself if it can't.
