ML> being able to mark a word bold is more important (and they think

Come on now, the underscore means "underline" and you use asterisks to
indicate bold. :)
Actually, I was stunned the first time Word did that formatting for
me. I was so used to writing email-style, that I did _something new_
and actually got it underlined.
ML> A sad but true fact is, I rarely bother to indent or use caret marks
ML> (to highlight) anymore (unless I'm sure the recipients use mono
ML> fonts as well, such as people in this group), because I don't know
ML> whether it would be presented as I intended in the recipient's email
ML> client.
What kills me is when people do the caret underlining with
proportional fonts on. Just ridiculous.
ML> Given the ubiquitous usage of proportional fonts in email clients, I
ML> even think the claim that TB format messages perfectly is a little
ML> bit, dare I say, self-serving.
I agree, although with the caveat that it does what *I* want, so it
does the right thing. :)
-tom!
