The Address class (defined in htmlformat.py) causes it's content to be
enclosed in <address>...</address> tags. These are what cause your
browser to italicize the contents. Because the italics (in your
browser but not necessarily all browsers) are caused by an <address>
tag, you can't turn them off and back on again with a </i>...<i>
sequence.

If what you want is to have the text italicized except for the
addresses, you can replace Address in line 52 with Italic and replace
<b>...</b> at line 49 with </i>...<i>.

If what you want is just the addresses italicized, you can eliminate
line 52 and replace <b>...</b> at line 49 with <i>...</i>.

There are other ways to make use of the htmlformat classes to generate
the desired HTML, but the above seems simplest to explain.
