M-x modify-syntax-entry RET _ RET w RET

PS: please stop posting in HTML.

HTML posts are less accessible then plain-text ones, HTML posts make
archives less useful to search with grep & co, they take more space
and bandwith, they are nearly-unreadable for many peoples who have no
HTML redering configuration, and take away (cpu-)time to peoples who
have it.  plain-text is enought for mail, anyone setups its MUA/NR to
display mails with the fonts/colors/font-size he wants, paragraph
separator can be an empty line.
