How do other clients that treat emphasis character handle this (e.g. Mozilla, Thunderbird, ...)? I have used the following for quite some time: ;; keep emphasis characters around after emphasis (require 'gnus-art) (setq gnus-emphasis-alist ; (mapcar (lambda (x) (list (car x) (nth 2 x) (nth 2 x) (nth 3 x))) gnus-emphasis-alist)) ;; don't do strikethru (setq gnus-emphasis-alist ; (delq nil (mapcar (lambda (x) (if (eq (car (last x)) 'gnus-emphasis-strikethru) nil x)) gnus-emphasis-alist))) (strikethru is already switched off by default now, IIRC) Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
