How do you remove link underlines in Outlook?
I'm trying to create a HTML signature but whatever I try, all my links keep an underline when I send it with Outlook (2007). The strange thing is: When I copy the rendered code (copied from browser to Outlook) it doesn't show any underline. However, once I sent it, it seems all formatting is gone and the underline appears again. If I sent the identical thing from any other client to Outlook this does not happen and it shows correctly.
A few samples of what I've tried:
I'm really out of ideas how to create a clickable link in Outlook that does not has an underline.. Even though 'underline-color:white' is an option. It is not supported by all browsers, which makes it a bit useless.
Any suggestion is welcome!

WORKING UPDATE
As the CSS method never worked, I suggested the OP to take a look at the link below which shows you how to change the hyperlink styling inside Outlook itself:

-- NOT WORKING FOR OP --
Try this:
<a href="#" style="text-decoration:none !important; text-decoration:none;">Link</a>
The reason this works is because Outlook strips the !important style, leaving the regular style to do the job.
