Too much emphasis matching on some filenames

[Kevin the Bandicoot <user42@zip.com.au>]

I'm only a recent convert to gnus, tell me to pipe down if I'm saying
something dumb.

I'm running pgnus 0.96 and I noticed article viewing doing a bit too
much emphasis matching on a filename in a message.

     Blah blah /usr/bin/foo blah blah /proc/<pid>/fd blah blah.

The first filename is ok, but the second one gets the "proc" part
shown as italics.  (C-u g or whatever to see raw what I'm writing.)
I think it's because gnus-emphasis-alist allows an open bracket to
match after /proc/, and "<" is an open bracket in the syntax table.

I don't think /emphasis/ in normal text would have an open bracket
immediately after, nor a close bracket immediately before, I think
there'd be white space in between.  Is there a reason the regexps are
setup the way they are?

I also thought the matching could be tightened by requiring whitespace
after a trailing punctuation -?!.,;:"  That would keep it away from
/root/.profile and *foo*.el and the like.  Allowing multiple "!"s,
"?"s or "."s would be good, so /italics/!!! would work.
