Yeah, gmail chat started this. I like that it tries, but I feel like I'm using it wrong because it does that. Although come to think of it, if I used *for* actions and something else, /maybe/, for tone of voice, it would closely approximate what I want.

Maybe there *was* a technical fix.

Googles: Apparently _have_ /replaced/ for italic, which is what I thought, and part of why I was confused before. If I _use_, then that ought to work most places. OK, I feel quite happy about the situation now.
