I'm becoming confused as to what they could possibly hope to
accomplish by that.  At least when using dots and spaces users could
cut and paste the hostname into a browser (if for some reason they
were so inclined) and there's a possibility that an overly helpful MUA
could turn it into a clickable link, but with underscores there's no
hope of that.  What's next?  Asking users to type only every other
letter in the location bar or to correct misspellings in the hostname,
but somehow expecting them to figure this out for themselves?

Yes, I know, don't question the motives of spammers for their
stupidity and madness may be contagious, but still.  Surely they must
expect some kind of click rate.
