I'm sure there's a way to get OE to do it right.  Perhaps the options for 
mail messages are separate from the options for news messages?

No reason.  They're perfectly acceptable.  * is usually used to indicate
emphasis; use it where you'd use bold or italics.  _ is used to indicate
underlining.  Some people use / to indicate italics, but that's fairly 
rare except in some of the older Usenet groups where everybody's been 
around since God was a child.  Whether you want to use ' or " to quote
things is a matter of personal taste.
