The last time I needed override the underline on links I used a javascript.
It was easy to install and worked well. I used it only for a single page on
the website. I don't have the script anymore or I'd email it to you. I
believe I found it at www.javascriptsource.com . That site was my usual
source for scripts.

Subject: links without underlining them?
Most browsers let you set your own colors for hyperlinks unless the webpage
itself overrides them. Even then, your preferences can be given additional
priority to override even overridden settings. The browsers also let you
turn on/off underlining.
Question: How can you get a webpage to override the underlining?
I'm documenting an API where classes and functions have underscores in the
name. They don't read very well in links when the browser underlines them. I
want to turn underlined links off for my readers (unless they override my
settings).
