Yes, but changing the word "Italic" to "Underline" in my copy of the
appropriate template really did the trick -- it makes a MUCH better, if
not perfect, mode line.  Now that underlining works, shouldn't this
really be the default?

Yes, yes, tm is not supported, I know, but how hard is it to change
Italic to Underline?
