Here are the two steps you need to do.  Both are required!

1 - Reconfigure your client to turn off HTML when posting to news
    groups and mailing lists.

2 - Add this to your .emacs:

(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook
          (function (lambda ()
                (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w" c++-mode-syntax-table)
                (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w" c-mode-syntax-table)
                (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w" java-mode-syntax-table)
)))
