hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply. If i use <font color="gray"> in QT 4.0 it works fine and shows my links in gray, but if i shift to QT 4.1 and the links are displayed in blue.

So, it seems that there is no simple way to get around this. It seems to be a bug in QT4.1 as the parsing of HTML to change color of links works in QT4.0 and QT3.2.

bye,
