I always thought the underscores implied an underlined word. Visually, it would make sense as it give that impression, but that's me.

Yep, but _underlined_ text is just a poor man's /itallic/

In the old days GNUS in emacs would properly render those as well.

Heck, even further than Emacs.....I remember typing stuff on a word processor that I ran on my old Apple IIc! You had to use the same characters to denote underlines, boldface, and italics. So I know where you're coming from.

I loved the IIc. Still have it. Why? I don't know.
