links without the underscoring - Not using CSS
 

Am I wrong in thinking that there used to be a possibility to make a link
without the underscoring?
Maybe some parameter in the anchor tag?

That's a s strange attitude. You are aware that HTML is not to be used
for style at all, right? HTML is a markup language, CSS is a style
language. Separation of content and style, etc., etc. RTFM, as I like to
say.

Why do you want to hide your links? Are you expecting your visitors to
wave the mouse all 'round the page looking for them, for the arrow to
change to a hand?

Your sig separator is broken; it should be dash-dash-space.

I am quite aware of that. Nevertheless there has been some attempts
by various browser-makers to introduce tags outside the conventions.

And I strongly believe that there used to be a feature for the above effect.
Whether it was purely in an early version of Netscape Navigator or whatever,
I am sure there was something.

A practice that I, and I am sure many others, hope will die. Do not
fondly reminisce about pre-4.01 days of MS and Netscape proprietary
elements.

I don't think there was ever one in my time (since 1994).
You could just use a little CSS, it won't hurt that much :)

<a href="foo.html" style="text-decoration:none;">click me</a>

you could also set the font colour to the same as the background colour...
