   Remember when Roger House bragged outrageously?  That was Monday:

   It varies with the program you are using.  On Windows machines, there's   
   usually a button for fonts, and beside it buttons for bold, italic, and   
   underline.  Sometimes there's more buttons ... LibreOffice Writer has   
   strikethrough.  Sometimes there is only a button for a drop-down   
   choice.   
      
   You can push the button to start an underlined section, and the unpush   
   the button at the end, or you can select a word or phrase and push the   
   button, and only the selection will be underlined.   
      
   Google Mail and Google Docs have these buttons, too.   
      
   For usenet posts, underlining is /signalled/ by wrapping the word(s) in   
   underscores, but not all newsreaders display this as underlined text;   
   _Google Groups_, for instance, does _not_.   
      
   For more specific instructions, you will have to tell us what program   
   you use or are planning to use.
