I see you committed your changes a few hours ago to both HEAD and the v5-10 branch. I agree that you have a point about new users being confused by this, but I don't think it is appropriate to change the default behavior of a stable release in this fashion... FWIW, I like the way bold emphasis works in previous Gnus versions, and I'd customize it back if the new way becomes the new default. Cheers, -- Romain Francoise | I am the walrus.
