Strangely, I am using MATE terminal 1.20 and now it is not working. I have a profile called Black and White. I change the colour profile preferences to the black and white scheme, but when I launch emacs -nw, it displays blue underlined text in places. And when I go back and look at the colour preferences in MATE it has gone back to custom.
