   What for? I don't _see_ the difference between an underlined and low dash   
   tagged word within ascii universe networks like Fidonet. Basically there is   
   not much need for markups. Look around in typical common media, bold italic   
   and underline markups are used very rarely because there is no significant   
   change of the content - a no is still a no and a _no_ is more no than no - or   
   a dead is more than _dead_ and a _faster_ is still more than fast and much   
   more faster than faster?   
      
   The one useful markup for quotes is italic and that function is already   
   covered by the > sign at the beginning of a quoted line.   
      
   Regards
