I like gnus-emphasis-alist, especially now that it has been fixed to not
hide the * around things like *scratch*.
I have only one disagreement with it: the rule for strikethru.
I've *never* seen an article where -foo- was used with the intention to
mean that the text should be understood as being striked-through.
OTOH I occasionally see some text incorrectly caught by Gnus and marked as
strikethru, so I suggest we just drop this rule.
Any objection?
Stefan

I agree that it's weird to see text with a line through it, and I've
never seen anybody use the dash notation with that intent. However,
some people seem to use it for emphasis, so it might be more
reasonable to map it to italics (I think people don't really like the
/slash/ notation for italics, it's too intrusive in the plain text
form).
BTW, I wonder if anybody actually reads the <bugs@gnus.org> list...
there seems a tendency for messages there to go entirely unanswered
but be quickly taken up if you post to ding@gnus or so.

I try to, but (as I mentioned on gnu.emacs.gnus) the spam is simply
overwhelming.
