Go to: http://history-computer.com/Internet/Conquering/Mosaic.html (alternatively go to http://history-computer.com/Internet/images/MosaicForMac.gif ) then search for "NCSA Mosaic for Mac" and then search inside the image (MosaicForMac.gif) for the words "Subject", "Project", "Special" and "Gopher" and you will see that, indeed, the underline was broken, was skipping letters j and p.
