Thank you Dave, I had noticed the asterisks as well and I had read
somewhere in a post that it signified bold text. I thought however that I
was seeing the asterisks as a consequence of me reading the posts in plain
text and that in Ritch Text I would have seen the Bold text but not the
asterisks but obviously not.
