(well it wasn't, but i've seen incorrect italicization when lines like
the above are reflected through mailing list software which produces
HTML email from plain text messages)
If it's HTML, Thunderbird converted it back to plain text for me.
I can't see whether it's screwed up the HTML or not.
no, it's plain text all the way in this case ... my experiment suggests
it's when _another_ list i'm on takes my plain text and subverts it to
minimally marked-up HTML (it's not the smartest list software); then
Thunderbird tries to interpret the // __ markup, but messes up sometimes
