Description
The prefilled reddit proof containes the following part
I am [NAME](LINK) on reddit.
When the reddit name contains an underscore (which is legal), this might end up as an italic font style, e.g.
I am [_foo_](LINK) on reddit.
So you should prefix all underscores with a backslash, e.g.
I am [\_foo\_](LINK) on reddit

Research direction
Start at the code that generates the prefilled Reddit proof, focusing on how the Reddit username is inserted into the Markdown message. Verify the output with a username containing underscores such as foo; done means the underscores are escaped so they render literally rather than as italics.
