I don't see italics. The email came through with a text/plain content
type. Did it get "downgraded" on the way out of your emailer, on the
way through the list server, or on the way into my Google Mail inbox?
From what I can track down, I think it's the first option.
Or maybe they weren't there in the first place, but in that case why
would you mention them?

There's a space missing after {nurI'laH.}

You need a {je} between {bobcho'} and {'e'}.

I don't understand why it's {jolchu'} instead of just {jol}.

I think you've consistently used a comma before quoted speech, so the
period here is a little distracting.

{joy'wI' pa'Daj} is a bit dissonant to my mind's ear, with the first
noun and the {-Daj} competing for ownership of the room. {joy'meH
pa'Daj} sounds better to me.

{QaS} is singular, right? The {lu-} prefix is inappropriate. Also, I'm
pretty sure that this {je} should immediately follow the verb.

{pa'mey} is plural, so {Hublu'} does need a {lu-} prefix.

I balk at {Qorgh} "take care of, care for" with this meaning. There
ought to be a better word for "handle (a situation)". Perhaps
{jIruchlaH} would work, or maybe something with {gheS} could fit in
this context.
