The only problem I have observed, is what appears in the indented line below. In that line, I selected the word "bold" and changed it to bold emphasis, and it appeared that way (in bold) to me in the e-mail I sent. Here is the line:

This line has a single word in *bold* emphasis (or at least, it should have).

To avoid that problem, I simply avoid using different emphasis (which you can't do in plain text anyway).
John, and all:

It appears that they have fixed the font problem I have seen in the past (in Lubuntu 12.10).

If you view e-mails in HTML, you will see the word in *bold* above (and to the left).

When the problem was there, you would see something like /bold/ instead.

All:

Apparently the problem is still there. It looks like the formatting problems only appear in the prior e-mail text, and above, the character "*" appears, rather then the "/" I have seen before.

Thanks, Aere, I didn't remember that it was you I had the previous exchange with.

I'm glad to hear that the more severe font bugs don't appear under Lubuntu, just this rendering of previously-sent bold text encapsulated with *'s (and probably italic text with /'s).

I think I recall TB rendering plain text that uses traditional emphasis encapsulation characters (* for bold and / for italics) with their HTML equivalents (so *bold emphasis* in plain text was rendered as *bold emphasis*) by the TB reader. It sounds like it is doing the opposite with previously-sent mail.
