This thread contains an unusual title - word thread should be possibly bolded in some email clients, upon receiving a new post notification. I'm asking any volunteer to post one message here, so that I'll get a notification. And please also one message to the sibling Test thread 1 Thanks. ____________ Peter .-)

I just had occasion to look at the "autocorrection" features (if you can call them that) of MS Word, and I see a checkbox to allow it to "replace as you type Bold and _italic_ with real formatting". So that convention is not limited to Trac or some mailers.

Which e-mail client? This is wiki markup for bold in Twiki (but not MediaWiki),
but I didn't know e-mail clients did that too.
