But Jay, that's only going to affect the hyperlink as it appears in
Word, right? Since the issue goes beyond Word, I've cross-posted this
to the OE and the IE newsgroups.

I have had many problems with this issue. Links may be the same color
in Word (and I make links and followed links the same color in my
Normal template), and they may be the same color in a web page, but then
when I copy the web page text into an e-mail, some of them (the one's
that haven't yet been clicked on in the Web page) are a different color
that I don't want. Then I have to clean them up again.

Or I will have links in Word that are a uniform color, but I then send
the document to a website, and when it's posted online, some of the
links are a different color.

I have been unable to figure out the rules that govern this behavior or
how to get control of it.

As Jay says, though, it affects the display only on your screen. And many
users *prefer* to have followed hyperlinks a different color. I'd go crazy
using Google if I couldn't see what pages/sites I'd already tried and
rejected.

To clarify one step further, what governs the color you see (other than
possibly having a particular color specified in the HTML tag of the
hyperlink, which is something Word doesn't do) is whether *you* have visited
that page from *your* computer, which places those URLs in Internet
Explorer's cache. Another user who views that web page and hasn't visited
any of those links with his/her computer will not see different colors.

But then I'd lose my confidentiality at these groups, which I keep for a
reason. :-)

Also, there's still the question of pasting web page text into OE. Even
if the links are consistent in the web page and even in Word, they are
often inconsistent in the e-mail. I wish I could get control of this.
It's maddening to have an automatic feature that you can't control.

What seems to be the case is that each website has its own rules
governing the color of followed hyperlinks. In some sites, the followed
link is different from the unfollowed, in others it's not. But then, if
you copy text from a web page into an e-mail, even though the followed
links had the same color in the web page as the unfollowed, in the
e-mail the unfollowed links will have a different color. (In my case,
the followed links are purple, the unfollowed are blue, and I want them
all to be purplse.) So the question is, is there any way to make the
links in the e-mail all be the same (followed) color, other than
manually clicking on all the links in the web page prior to copying the
web page text into the e-mail?

And then another question: Is all this irrelevant from the point of
view of how the text appears to the recipient of the e-mail? Let's say
I've clicked on all the links on the web page prior to copying into the
e-mail, so that the links are all purple in the e-mail. But when
another person receives the e-mail, he hasn't clicked on any of those
links on HIS computer. So does that mean that when he looks at the
e-mail the links will all have the unfollowed color?

You can force your preferences.
Check: Ignore colors specified on web pages
(Internet Options, Accessibility -- in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-e,c)

Yes. You can also change yours by clearing your History.

This is an interesting feature, but it changes the actual color designs
of Web pages, which is undesirable, while not fixing the inconsistent
color of linked text pasted into e-mails.

Thanks anyway. I have a feeling this is a problem without a solution.

But isn't the original coloring coming from its source (e.g. a web page?)

BTW how are you copying these links? Perhaps if you copy them with
right-click Copy Shortcut (e.g.) they won't be colored? E.g. I imagine that
only the anchor text will be colored not its href value. Similarly you can
force a piece of text to lose all its style attributes by pasting it first into
a new Notepad window, then selecting it from there and recopying.
Note also, that when the source is anchor text that we are assuming
generally that it matches the related href value. In cases where the anchor
text and the captured link do not match you would probably have to do
something like copy the anchor text to capture and set its color
and then paste the copied Shortcut in such a way that it inherited that color.



Thanks anyway. I have a feeling this is a problem without a solution.

I haven't tried it but supposedly you can create your own stylesheet
to effect your preferences more specifically.
(same dialog -- in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-e,d)

If so perhaps you could use it to force your preferences for link coloring
only. Again, though, that would only affect the source of the links
and the way you copied and pasted them would ultimately affect
their final attributes in your document.
