Forget this one.  As suggested by Christian, it's a problem with my
font settings.  Monospace shows italics as bold italics, here.  When I
switch to a proportional font, everything's okay.  Should have checked
first.  Sorry for the noise.

Okay, fair enough.  I used to use Thor on the Amiga where toggling text
styles hid the markup.  Given that, as you say, it can cause real
problems when trying to write command output, of pathnames, etc, I'm
happy to live with it.

Again, fair point.  You have to draw the line somewhere.

Many thanks.

Also, I noticed yesterday that when a message gets an icon inserted
instead of the smiley, doing a followup strips the smiley too.  Whilst
this one is no biggy either, I thought I'd mention it.

Once again, than you Charles, for your hard work.  Thanks also to
Duncan and Christian for their thoughts and solutions WRT to these
problems.
