Plain text usually keeps everyone happy. > Yeah, there are some (well, lots of) people who love to write red text. If everybody restricted themselves to use only bold, italic and underlined I would be fine with formatting, though. But, also, there are some people who like to read things in a terminal, with monospaced fonts (and these same people commonly have 3D cards and 22" LCDs to play games... I just can't understand!). And finally there are some email clients which like to mess with people lives when they see some formatting. So I guess this is not negotiable. ps.: My opinion is: decades and more decades of computer science and engineering and we can't achieve some characters to be bold or italic without generating conflicts. I am profoundly ashamed of my area. (same thing for people not using Unicode in personal, powerful computers)
