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.
