It is Plaintext.

No, because the reciever might not be able to read HTML mail.

Because normal users don't know the convention (at least not during 
writing - they might be ale to interpret it while reading, and we try to 
help with the bolding in the viewer, as do many other apps).

Counter-question: If bold can be ignored, why do you make it bold? Bold 
doesn't exactly *look* nice. (OK, apart from your original example, but 
then again, it's up to the mailer what to generate.)

That depends on how badly you want these *s to go away. It'd be a 
Severity: Enh IMO. FIle it against DOM-Text Conversion.
