Woohoo. :-)
Thanks - I'm glad you approve!
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...
Dang. When I asked everybody on the IRC channel, they told me it was
*bold*, _underline_, and /italics/
The change is trivial to make in the code - I just need to know what the
"accepted format" is - I've never used Usenet.
