If need to bold or italicize something I just hit CTRL-I or CTRL-B ;)

Oh no, don't get me wrong, this isn't a common feature.  Here's the  
thing, AIM sends HTML(ish), and we remove the HTML-ness of the  
message before sending the plain text message.  However, HTML  
includes <b></b> and <u></u> for bold and underline, respectively.   
PyAIM turns that into a ** and a __ just so there is SOME ascii  
representation that the person bolded or underlined it.  You can't  
type ** into your messages and have it show up as bold on the other  
end.  =)
