Interestingly enough my Outlook Express with the AddOn OE-Quotefix by
Dominik Jain (http://flash.to/oblivion) showed your *shout* in boldface.
Also _underline_ gets underlined for real.
Unfortunately the Quotefix conventions for /italics/ and *boldface* don't
match FTX {italics} and [boldface]. I can't seem to find a way to change
this in Quotefix, maybe you could translate those when serving NNTP to me
(just joking :-)
The Quotefix program is really helpful for fixing OE quoting problems,
showing different quote levels in different colors etc., trimming sigs,
putting the cursor at the right place when replying, and so on.
(Oh, and it will change :-) ;-) etc. to the real thing, if you let it)
