I'm one of those people who turns off underlining on their browser.  I find that underlining tends to clutter up a page.  But, to each his/her own.  An alternative to underlining, especially on light type or if you're using a non-standard link colour (especially if it's a lighter colour), is to put all links in bold-face.  See http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/ as an example.

Erwin,
I vaguely remember the feature to turn off underlining in older version of Netscape, but I cannot find it in ver. 4.5.  What do you do to turn off or on underlining on your browser?  Your example has underlining for all links when I view at my co-workers' workstations, but at my machine, I see underlining only for "more contact information..." and "British Columbia."
