Unfortunately some (evil) editors actually toss them in on their own on the
theory that it saves characters.

I have noticed that the Deja-news poster seems to remove formatting on
occasion too. As near as I can tell it only happens on pasted text, not
handwritten. Most annoying.

Anyway, having had it happen to me on occasion, I always assume the posting
s/w had a problem.
