How do I remove link underlining in my HTML email?

Answer 1

I used a combination of not showing links in google, adding links for mso (outlook) and the shy tag, to keep the looks and feels for my company. Some code may be redundant (for my company the looks where more important then the be clickable part. (it felt like a jigsaw, as every change brakes something else)

<td style="color:rgb(69, 54, 53)">
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
<a href="http://www.immothekerfinotheker.be" style="text-decoration:none;">
<span style="text-decoration:none;">
<![endif]-->
www&shy;.&shy;immothekerfinotheker&shy;.&shy;be
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
</a>
</span>
<![endif]-->
</td>

Hope this helps someone

In Windows 10 Mail, you might need to add these in your html head:

<!--[if (mso)|(mso 16)]>
  <style type="text/css">
    body, table, td, a, span { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; }
    a {text-decoration: none;}
  </style>
<![endif]-->

The 'a {text-decoration: none;}' fixed the underline problems :)

Answer 3

Text decoration none was not working for me, then i found an email in outlook that did not have the line and checked the code:

<span style='font-size: 12px; font-family: "Arial","Verdana", "sans-serif"; color: black; text-decoration-line: none;'>
<a href="http://www.test.com" style='font-size: 9.0pt; color: #C69E29; text-decoration: none;'><span>www.test.com</span></a>
</span>

This one is working for me.

Answer 4

<a href="#" style="text-decoration:none !important; text-decoration:none;">BOOK NOW</a>

Outlook will strip out the style with !important tag leaving the regular style, thus no underline. The !important tag will over rule the web based email clients' default style, thus leaving no underline.

Answer 5

Use text-decoration:none !important; instead of text-decoration:none; to make sure you "lose" the underline.

Answer 6

While viewing the html email try inspecting the element on that link and see what is overwriting it. Use that class and define it that style again in your head style and define the text-decoration: none !important;

In my case these are the classes that are overwriting my inline style so declared this on the head of my html email and defined the style that I want implemented.

It worked for me, hope it will work on your one too.
