There was some buzz on this list a while back about
supporting Usenet syntax

I have created an extension which provides this facility, which you can read
about here:

Woohoo. :-)
I welcome all feedback - and thanks in advance to
anyone who wants to give
it a shot.
FWIW, the customary rendering (IME) is _italics_, since handwritten
underlining is usually rendered as italics in typesetting, and most
computer displays have, traditionally, not had a good way to render
underlining...
