This is a Gnus issue.  Crosspost & Followup-To: gnu.emacs.gnus

Customize `gnus-emphasis-alist', especially the "Show start and end
patterns" options.

I you don't like to use customize, you could use some modification of
the following code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; keep emphasis characters around after emphasis
(require 'gnus-art)
(unless (fboundp 'gnus-emphasis-custom-with-format)
  ;; In Gnus 5.10.7 or 5.11 this is okay by default.
  (setq gnus-emphasis-alist ; <u8zbs8p6iue.fsf@blackbird-2k.MITRE.ORG>
	(mapcar (lambda (x)
		  (list (car x) (nth 2 x) (nth 2 x) (nth 3 x)))
		gnus-emphasis-alist)))
;; <m3u1lu95u7.fsf@ID-87814.user.dfncis.de>
;; don't do strikethru
(setq gnus-emphasis-alist
      (delq nil
	    (mapcar
	     (lambda (x)
	       (if (eq (car (last x)) 'gnus-emphasis-strikethru)
		   nil
		 x))
	     gnus-emphasis-alist)))
(setq gnus-emphasis-alist
      (delq nil (mapcar
		 (lambda (x)
		   (if (eq (car (last x)) 'gnus-emphasis-italic) nil x))
		 gnus-emphasis-alist)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye, Reiner.
