I checked things out here.  Sending a file as you described
causes the line to be underlined correctly.  We are running
a different lp driver which leaves all the formatting up to
lpd (which does it anyway, so why should the driver do any
extra work?).  Check your lp driver.  Oh yeah, we are running
4.2bsd.
