gnus-emphasis-alist and strickthru

[Stefan Monnier]

I like gnus-emphasis-alist, especially now that it has been fixed to not
hide the * around things like *scratch*.

I have only one disagreement with it: the rule for strikethru.

I've *never* seen an article where -foo- was used with the intention to
mean that the text should be understood as being striked-through.

OTOH I occasionally see some text incorrectly caught by Gnus and marked as
strikethru, so I suggest we just drop this rule.

Any objection?
