If your newsreader is like mine, it displays the subject not as
"highlighted" text, but rather as "underlined" text.
But color PC video adapters do not support an underlined attribute, so
MS-DOS Kermit displays underlined text in a distinct fore/background
color combination. In version 3.13, it chose these colors automatically,
based on the regular fore/background colors.
In version 3.14 (still in Beta), we have a new command, SET TERMINAL
UNDERSCORE, to let you choose the underscore-simulation colors yourself.
The syntax is the same as with SET TERMINAL COLOR.
