Bold-->Bold is standard, has been since the invention of the typewriter. Bold-->BOLD is a bug.

Using HTML editor whih bold, italic, underlined and/or combinations of these tages, when a user switches to plain text editor, the text becomes UPPERCASE and/or surrounded by back-slashes. This is the desired behavior. Bold text is indicated in all CAPS, italicized text is indicated by putting the words between / /, and underlined text is indicated by putting the words between _ _. It is a way to preserve some of the formatting when switching from a display that is less feature-rich.

Please try at least with the latest IMP 4.1 stable release. HTML editing is also much better in HEAD if you can try that.
