In my Gnus customization, I keep underlining strictly related to
clickability, as much as I can. I rather underline with yellowish
background, as we do with highlighting pens. Besides, unmixing clickability
from any kind of bolding is clearer, in my opinion. I would like if it
were becoming a design rule for Gnus (and W3!).
True underlining impacts legibility, which somewhat goes against the
original intent of underlining. Typography often used italics instead.
But Gnus already uses slanting in an orthogonal way to underlining, so I
needed something else. Another background colour was good enough for me...
Given these choices of mine, I strongly join my voice to Bill's demand!
