You mean in incoming mail? Seems the same over here...
You can check your settings, in the Config editor, look for prefs named "struct"...

     Yes. Where else?

Tools / Config / Advanced / Config editor / "struct"
converter.html2txt.structs default bool true
editor.table.maintain_structure  default bool true
mail.display_struct default bool true
mail.send_struct default bool false

Structured text has minimal recognition.  The pattern all needs to be on the same line (same line in source, which may not be the same as the lines displayed if the message is format=flowed); and the pattern needs to be:

  <space|punctuation>_[a-z] ... [a-z]_<space|punctuation>

or something like that.  So _this0_ won't be underlined, nor will _this_x nor _this*_, nor _этот_ -- it's not very reliable.

I send myself letter with next lines:

this is _test_
this is /test/
this is *test*

In both Sent and Inbox folders only second and third lines are processed (applied italic and bold).

_test_ works fine for me.

     You correct - I switch from Walnut theme to default theme and underline reappear. Looks like something was broken in TB API, and this causes problems with Walnut.

     I try to contact Walnut author. Should I mark given report "invalid"?

Invalid seems right to me.
