I confirm lack of underline, and worse, I don't see the blue either. But 
the pointer DOES change to a finger. 
 
I am using Netscape Communicator 4.04 (insert obligatory Tom Stangl rant

I see you're using Hitbox. I like those guys. One of their techies, who

  |  It seems almost too good to be true, but by signing up for freenetnames.co.uk internet access you do indeed get a .co.uk or org.uk domain name for free!
