	I'm not sure if others have given you the answer you want -- my
Evolt mail is coming in helter-skelter, and I'm not sure why. Anyway, apply
a unique class to those links which you want to treat differently. Here's
how to do what you want:

<a class="fancylink" href="linky.html">linky</a>

	and within the <style> block in the <head> section of your document
(or in an external style sheet), add:

a.fancylink { text-decoration: none ; }

	Keep in mind that, since Netscape 4.x does not render the :hover
pseudo-class, you can't do any fancy effects to the link to change its
appearance on mouseover, which means that users may have a hard time
distinguishing these fancy links from regular text, especially in Netscape
4.x.
	This approach will work in IE 4+, Netscape 4.x (with caveat noted),
Netscape 6, and Opera 5 (possibly earlier).

hth,
James Aylard
