Alas, > there isn't, so this debate will probably continue to eternity :-/ Actually, there is. On another medium called Fidonet it is quite common to use asteriks for bold *like this*, underscores for underlining _like this_ and slashes for italics /like this/. I don't think this causes too much annoyance to people who read it without a program that converts the asteriks for bold-style text. My newsreader is capable but then again, I'm using a superior Amiga newsreader ;-). Regards, Robert -- ___ _(ooo)_ Robert Kersbergen A winner never quits.
