With referenc to TERMINAL TALK, another effective
device for highlighting a portion of a message 
is _to_surround_it_with_underscores_.  I use this
when typing book references without a text formatter.

Another interesting notation is the order of the
characters in a serial interrobang.  I feel that there
is a definate difference between ?! and !?.  The  first
would be appropriate when describing (with disbelief)
a question someone asked.  The second is used when 
questioning a statement someone made.
