The thread was about turning off colours while preserving other face
attributes, I think.  But using `font-lock-face' for colour settings and
`face' for the rest doesn't work for this, viz. with the following code
snippet, "bar" appears underlined but not coloured.

(with-current-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*test*")
  (insert "foobarquux")
  (put-text-property 1 7 'face '(:underline t))
  (put-text-property 4 11 'font-lock-face '(:foreground "red"))
  (font-lock-mode)
  (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer)))
