I don't!  I do not like underlined links at all, because they destroy
the visual purity of the text.  If you have many links, your text
become more and more ugly.  And it is the web designer's duty to
prevent people from seeing ugly text. :-P

But it's nice that there are user preferences overriding what web
designers think. :-)
