In Org files putting an underscore at each of a word begets an ugly

In Gnus mail putting an underscore at each end of a _word_ begets an
expected result of underlining the word itself.
I wish that Org would do that too, or at least leave it alone like say
info does.

But I have never used this, so I am not sure if this does not have
unwanted side effect, for example in table formatting.
Besides, I think underlining is supposed to be italics of bold these
days / underlining is really a leftover from mechanical typewriters
For example:
"The APA Style Manual favors italics, especially for manuscripts being
prepared for publication; however, underlining text is acceptable if
you are using a typewriter or a word processing program that does not
have an italics function."
