It always amazes me how many people only associate the use of text
attributes and different fonts as a means for yelling, annoying
decorations, and so forth.

Let me provide two examples where I think these features are a
perfectly good tool:

(i)     I exchange messages which include discussion and source code
snippets. I prefer having the source code snippets in a different font,
as everybody else outside the plaintext mailing world does.

(ii)    My messages not only include quotes from other messages in the
same thread, but also quotations from third sources. I prefer those
quotations to appear in italcs; again, as it is commonplace outside the
plaintext mailing world.
