span.foo { padding:2px; border-bottom:1px solid #000;} or similar. Just adjust the padding etc to match your line-height and spacing.

<span class="foo">Underlined Text</span>

You should be very careful when underlining text that you don't confuse the end user into thinking it's a link and wondering why they can't get it to work.

In general, avoid underlining text in favour of using bold and italic if you need to emphasize something.
