   Hmm...  This is the way that messsage looked here:   
      
           https://susepaste.org/14106387   
      
   Not sure why even the single-slash did not render.  :(  Maybe I     
   don't have a setting defined for it.   
      
      
   And here is the TB version:   
      
           https://susepaste.org/87701307   
      
   Even the the fixed-font setting tries to render the italics     
   just fine!  But the // goes ignored.
