But even after switching to "Liberation Mono:style=Regular" which most definitely *does* have an oblique variety (and I can see it in action in an org document when I say /italic/ - after setting the italic face appropriately), I still do not get the italic effect when I view Enda's mail (and I am viewing the html form of it, not the text form: e.g. the leading question is colored blue). That may be because of the dotage of my mail reader of course (mh-e), so I was wondering if there are any *emacs* mail readers[fn:1] that show the effect? I doubt at this point that I'll ever switch to e.g. gnus to read mail (mh-e and I have grown old together), but I am curious whether something like it handles things properly.[fn:2] Thanks, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] I presume that something like thunderbird will do it, but I'm not interested in going outside emacs. [fn:2] FWIW, I set up gnus with an nnmh spool and I still can't see the italics, but that may be a matter of missing configuration. BTW, in mh-e, various headers are in italics (To:, Sender: and the part of the From: header) - that's probably default mh-e config, since I don't do any customization there.
