And your reply doesn't help much... : )... You'll notice I specified
C-u g to see the slashes in my post.

  In Gnus, you can inhibit emphasizing of text surrounded by *...*,
  _..._, /.../, etc. by setting the `gnus-treat-emphasize' variable
  to nil.  Otherwise, you can customize the `gnus-emphasis-alist'
  variable so that it might show /.../ (and also other characters).

  Start regexp: /
    End regexp: /
    Show start and end patterns: [ Off ] ==> [ On ]
