Does Adium already have to strip out underscores from some of our strings?

I almost feel like the choice of the mnemonic should be automatic, by
GTK.  But I guess having a human decide the mnemonic probably results
in a more natural choice.  Another possible solution is to have a
plaintext string and a mnemonicized string, but that sounds like over
engineering.
