The \ul{..} command from the soul package also supports underlining across
line breaks.
*And soul is included by default in org's list of loaded latex packages* -- see
org-latex-default-packages-alist.
Therefore it would be painless for org users if \underline in
org-latex-text-markup-alist were replaced with \ul -- and it would provide
more complete support of underlining!
Thanks,
