Hi Severin,

In Explorer Preferences the colours for Read and Unread links can be
changed.  I can find no such item in Safari or Firefox.  Are they  
hidden

somewhere?


Safari supports this through Style Sheet (in Advanced Preferences). If
you create your own CSS file, Safari can be told to use it. However,
according to the rules of CSS, your CSS file is not the most
important. If you want to make it important, you need to designate the
rules as follows. Put it into a text file (e.g., severin.txt or
severin.css) and tell Safari to use that file. In the example below,
'a' stands for 'anchor', which is how links are done in HTML. You can
then specify styles and colours using US spelling:

a { color: green !important; }
a:visited { color: yellow !important; }
