Description

[Andrew Ramage]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When a message is to be underlinedin Linux, the bottom half of the underline
between the surrounding underline characters is cut off.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself a message with one or more words _underlined_
2. Open in Linux and Windows
3. Compare underline on both versions.

Actual Results:  
In Windows, the underline is uniform thickness across the whole word/phrase. 
Linux, OTOH, loses the bottom half of the underline making it more difficult to see.

Expected Results:  
The Linux version should not half the underline.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
