        Hi,

        I received some interesting answers.
        On another list, someone suggested that the e-mail smileys can
work as punctuation (expressing the writer's emotions) :-).
        I was also thinking of an word enfaziser, something like:
          - I do like you. =3d> I #like you.
          - I like *YOU*. =3d> I like #you.
        Also, a "nested" punctuation, like:
          - I, like you, who enjoy icecream,, have got quite fatty.
                                           ^^ closes both coments. Could
                have been parenthesis too:
          - I (like you (who enjoy icecream)) have got quite fatty.
        There's more, I just can't think of any right now.
