Outlook 07/10/13 Forcing Address and URL to Blue Links
Hi there,
I have been using litmus to test my emails and outlook has been a horrible exprience. I have tried all the fixes and methods to stop forcing outlook to blue links but it seems like it doesn't obey.
Here is the code:
<td style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0; margin:0; color:#959595; font-size:12px; font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:18px;">Phone: 123 GO ABC (12 123434)
<br />Online: <span class="appleLinksWhite" style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #FFFFFF !important;"><font style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #FFFFFF !important;">abcde.com.au</font></span>
<br />Email: <a href="#" style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #FFFFFF !important;"><span class="appleLinksWhite" style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #FFFFFF !important;"><font style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #FFFFFF !important;">abcde.net.au</font></span></a>
</td>
Any luck with this one?
The fix is adding <font color="#ffffff">text</font> inside.

<a style="color:#E3A216; text-decoration:none;">
<span style="color:#E3A216;">
<font color="#E3A216">
Click me
</font>
</span>
</a>
Please go ahead and scream all you like at Microsoft. It's cathartic.
Hi Brad,
Replace tag <font> with tag <a>.

did the fix work for you?
I am not sure but outlook.com is only since mid-end 2017 teamed up with litmus to creat a better email service so that we dont have to rip our hair out when something isnt working. So we can hope for the best. But once its great on outlook u have done 80% of the work =)
Did not see that someone mentioned it here but if u click on the link it will be overwriten with a "visitit color" by the browser/app engine. So maybe u have also to deal with that. ( a:visited{your css here} ) From my experience most users are ok with that but sometimes u have that one clint who wants to change that ^^
