In that case, at least when --color=yes I suppose Emacs is already
doing what you want it to: ignoring that the console has an escape
sequence for ul when all that sequence does in a colour change.
But note that it is possible that real underlining will be added in
the future for those that use a framebuffer console. It may even
already work on non-x86, non-VGA hardware -- such as sun or ppc
hardware -- but I do not have such a box to check.
The colour change thing comes from the limits of VGA, and has been
duplicated by -- at least -- the current framebuffers on x86. This
is the same thing emulators like kermit did on PCs before linux --
which is of course why linux does it.
