Underlines on links

Underlines on links

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

If you read

<x1-E99sJeYX2a1X/EjwI9o2eLKYZlI@gwene.org>

you'll get a nice picture with a blue line going through it.  That's the
<a href> underline thing.  Which looks really ugly.

Is there a way to make that line actually be at the bottom of the image
instead almost at the middle?

Do you want to improve the link face for all of Emacs (in which case ask
on emacs-devel) or just for Gnus?

I'm not sure.  I was hoping there would be some kind of property you
could set on the images that would make the underline drop down to the
bottom.  In which case it would be a shr.el fix.

I couldn't find it, after experimenting with that for a while.  Sorry.

Then I guess `shr-add-font' will have to be amended to skip portions of
the buffer that are or will be images.

Which is too bad, because it would be nice if link-ey images had the
same underline as link-ey text...

Hey!  Adding :ascent 100 to `create-image' made the underlines go to the
bottom of the image.  Looks nice.

Oh, I didn't think :ascent would do it.  I guess I was thinking
upside-down.
