Well, that's true, although "t_?" is perfectly clear.  As to how they're to
be written in your romanization, underlining will work in text for your own
purposes, but won't work in most emails.  A traditional way of indicating
ejectives is with the apostrophe " t' ", or...I've always liked the early
20C Boas/Sapir " t! ", either of which would make for neater looking email
discussion.
