Exporting & importing underlined text

I reported a problem about importing underlined text on the users' list a week or so ago without getting a bite. In LyX 2.0 in the View Source window, underline is shown as \uline{text}, whereas \underbar{text} was used in LyX 1.6. If the document is exported as Latex (from LyX 2.0)
