Yes, I noticed the same thing -- it's bold italics when I compose the
message, but it's plain text when the message gets delivered, although
the body of the excerpt is still italicized.

I liked the old way better.

I've also noticed that ^X^S  in sendmessage doesn't Send/Post the
message anymore.  I have to use the menu entry instead.  I suppose I can
fix that if I read enough documentation?
