That's different. Firstly, it still displays the asterisks and the
slashes, so you are not losing anything. Secondly, even when it does it
when it "shouldn't", it is no biggie, but on Wikipedia it would be.
Just yesterday I wrote "*ducks, runs and hides*" somewhere in this
newsgroup, and it bolded it even though that wasn't the real semantics
of the asterisks. You forgive this because you know Thunderbird can't
tell, but on Wikipedia that would be different.
