Above, possibly unescaped so you can see it (I certainly can in vim),
the actually included text: it's CHAR-BKSP-CHAR-BKSP-CHAR-BKSP-CHAR
(well, actually, 5 CHAR's, but I didn't wanna wrap).

That's a sufficiently common way to boldface things that many text
viewers (including Mutt's) special case it, and display the text in
bold.
