[thelist] No Color on Visited Links

We're trying to achieve an appearance wherein once a linkhas been visited,
there is no longer any special coloring. IOW, it then appears to be just
regular text. We cannot just specify:
a:visited{color: black;}
because the surrounding text could be in other colors than just black. (This
is a syntax-coloring situation to show source code in tutorials.) It seemed
the logical choice was:
a:visited{color: inherit;}
This indeed worked as we wanted in Firebird/Mozilla, but not in MSIE. Is
this an MSIE bug, or is there a more proper way to accomplish what we want?
If a bug, are there any hacks/workarounds for MSIE?
Thanks,
-- Randy
