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.
