Default What's with the underscore? (not as a line-continuer)

I have noticed that an underscore character sometimes precedes certain items,
i.e. MailItem vs. _MailItem. Or like in Outlook the name of the message in
the "Read Page" of a message form is _DocSiteControl. Does it have anything
to do with a COM object? If so, what is COM? Just curious!

COM (Component Object Model). Google for tons of information on COM.

The underscore leading a class name is often used for abstract classes.
