Steps to reproduce:
While composing an e-mail and I typed the word "lot" between two asterixis.
Actual results:
while composing the e-mail, the word "lot" typed between two asterixis is displayed in a plain font style, but then after sending the e-mail, the word "lot" typed between two asterixis is displayed in a bold font style.
Expected results:
The font style of the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should always be consistently the same?
The word "lot" typed between two asterixis should never have been displayed in bold font style, or alternatively, the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should always be displayed in bold font style, however, the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should NOT display in plain font style before sending and then bold font style after sending.
User Magnus Melin seems to assert that there is some convention that the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should display in bold font style. They are perhaps incorrect about this, as I can not find any such universal convention documented anywhere, unless perhaps this is the convention to which they are referring?... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification If we accept this argument that the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should be displayed in a bold font style, then it is a bug that the word "lot" typed between two asterixis is not displaying in a bold font style.
The WYSIWYG convention would seem to dictate that the font style of the word "lot" typed between two asterixis should always be consistently the same.

I already explained this to you in bug 1933064 (and pointed you to the prefs you can use if you do not like it).
Please note, there's a lot more that WYSIWYG for email. Depending on settings for composition, sending and deliver format (for sender and receiver) what you see as a recipient is not necessarily looking exactly like you sent. It's not pdf ;)
