Some e-mail clients will automatically add underlines to text that is
sort of _underlined_, the way you have. My client (Mozilla) will also
bold any text within *asterics* being viewed, and /italicize/ any text
within slashes.
However, you might have better luck with writing your story in Word,
exporting it to HTML, and then putting it on a website. Then you could
post a link to the .html version at the same time you post the raw text
version to the FFML.
Casual readers could peruse the HTML, and commentors could use the text
version sent to the list. As an aside, whichever you decide, where ARE
your stories archived? I managed to miss a chapter or two, and now
there's no webpage where I can catch up....

I'm unsatisfied with the ASCII device for za'Tsara'vor. It's
speech is bold in the Word version, and I've tried both ALL CAPS and
_sort_of_underlined_ and wasn't happy with either. Any ideas, lets me
know. I left it as underlined here -- try to imagine it in bold, or
something.
As always, I'd like to hear any and all C&C. Let me know if you
missed previous chapters or some such, I'm happy to send them out.
