Not everyone can view italics in their email readers.  The best policy is
to use undefiled, 7-bit, plain vanilla US-ASCII and compose the message
with such skill that the tone is immediately obvious to even the
slow-witted reader.  Admittedly, I frequently fall short of the latter.

(Maybe if I had sent my message twice, it would have had the same effect
as italics.  Hmm... well, it's something to keep in mind, isn't it?)
