Can you display a link with an underline rather than a color change? I have a mailto at the end of the sentence, but it’s not clear that you can click on it. I would like the text to remain white.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

I should add…
I got the underline to work, but it behaves differently on phone and desktop. on the phone, it brings up the email compose dialog box, but in chrome and internet explorer, it displays the URL but nothing happens. How do you display the link only on a phone or on a desktop with a mail client installed and not when there is no email available?

I’m glad you got the underline to work. However, its better to use custom css
text-decoration: underline !important; since the underline <u> element was deprecated in HTML 4.0.1 and redefined in HTML5. As far as the email client goes, unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that. Due to security reasons, you cannot see any information about other applications installed on the users system.

Thanks for the info on <u>. In the custom CSS, how would you set hover and visited colors?

If you have the pro features you can put the following in the Custom CSS section
```
.simple-banner .simple-banner-text a:hover {
    color: #cdcdcd;
}
.simple-banner .simple-banner-text a:visited {
    color: #ffffff;
}
```
Obviously with those color values changed to your liking.
