In-Reply-To: <873brhtcin.fsf@jurta.org> (message from Juri Linkov on Fri, 17 Jun 2005 15:04:48 +0300)
Underlining doesn't make text look like a link. There are faces
with the underline attribute put on text which is not a link.
It would be confusing for users to think that such text is a link
and try to click it after learning a new Emacs convention of
underlining all mouse-1 sensitive areas.
That logic is backwards. Many links in Emacs are underlined, but a
few are not. If we move towards underlining them, it will make things
more consistent, not less so.
Also underlining often produces visual clutter, especially
in buffers with high link density like dired, grep and compilation
buffers.
I don't think so, but people can try my patch and tell me if they
think so.
