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! -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
