title: Can i change the text color of a tag without css?
body: <p>I'm writing a template for an e-mail, and I can't use css. I need to change the color of the links, by default they get blue and underline. I want to keep the underline but change the color to black. Is that even possible without css?</p>
  
  <p>My exact line is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt; Link 3 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/299168/html-text-decoration-of-a-link-without-css">this answer</a> but it adds an attribute to the body section. That's also something I can't have. Any other solutions?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;body link="XXX" alink="YYY" vlink="ZZZ"&gt;
  </code></pre>
