Previous XEmacsen picked very ugly replacements for it; I finally managed to hack it such that italic font properties are ignored. This looks better, usuallu, but... only when this thread started did I discover that Gnus treats forward slashes special as well... Probably gnus-treat-emphasize should default to nil.
