Is there a way to make text-decoration:none; work for links in a newsletter when viewed in Outlook 2007? I've tried inline styles in the head and body, applied directly to the anchor tags and a combination of all three. Outlook 2007 still shows underlines for all the links regardless. Any way around it? Thanks

This can be evaded like this:

<a href="#"><strong style="font-weight:normal">text here</strong></a>

put the text in a strong tag which is then reset to normal font weight.
