Most style guides note that underline and italic are interchangeable; underline is meant for use in writing or on a typewriter where italic is not available. Many are insistent that they are never to both appear in the same document. For what it's worth.

John,

Thanks for that info and explanation.

I thought something had changed (new versions, updates to Markdown, etc.). I’m not desperate for Underline, just that it’s always been missing, thought there were options, but no. I use that function only occasionally.
FYI, if already rendered in a supporting app (Mail) the quality is 
displayed and sent by MM.
Other non-mail Mac apps are not HTML based and do have those options. 
That said, I can see why coding to HTML is needed for email.
FYI, I found a workaround for [Markdown, 
here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44840416/how-to-make-a-word-underline-in-markdown). 
Also noted, a different Markdown is likely incompatible with M-M 
(Markdown-it.js) and does support it.

Underline isn't available in Markdown, the styling engine that 
MailMate uses by default. If you really need to send underlined text 
(why?), you probably need to use an HTML-based email program such as 
Mail.
