My job is nothing to do with programming in FORTRAN (or any other language). The bulk of my work email correspondence is with people who either work in commercial road haulage or work for the government. The /italics/ convention perhaps a little geeky. *Bold* and _underline_ were/are widely used in handwritten notes, so are understood by most people as an indication of emphasis. (I frequently use *s in my own handwritten notes, and often see _s in the notes other people make.) -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional.
