Underlining doesn't make text look like a link. There are faces with the underline attribute put on text which is not a link. It would be confusing for users to think that such text is a link and try to click it after learning a new Emacs convention of underlining all mouse-1 sensitive areas. Also underlining often produces visual clutter, especially in buffers with high link density like dired, grep and compilation buffers. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
