I didn't even know it did that.... If need to bold or italicize something I just hit CTRL-I or CTRL-B ;)

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. =) Daniel On Mar 8, 2006, at 10:46 PM, Travis Bell wrote: > I didn't even know it did that.... > > If need to bold or italicize something I just hit CTRL-I or CTRL-B ;) > > -- > Travis Bell > > > > On 8-Mar-06, at 8:43 PM, Daniel Henninger wrote: > >> *grin* Well like I said in my other message, what are your (and >> others) feelings on that?
