Safire's column in the Sunday Times Magazine gave three words for
the act of emphasizing a point by saying that your not emphasizing it
(e.g., "I will leave unmentioned your totally inept response to last
Sunday's crisis").

Today's quiz: distinguish between the uses of "preterition,"
"paraleipsis," and "apophasis." No prizes for the correct answer,
I won't bother to mention that I don't know the correct answer.
