The best way to do this is to eschew the <font> and <body> tags 
altogether and include style sheets like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<style>
a {color: blue}
</style>
</head>
...

The FONT element is deprecated in HTML 4.01, and will likely disappear
in the next version from the W3C. The use of the background, text, link,
alink and vlink attributes for the BODY element is also depricated 
in favor of stylesheets in 4.01, and they will also likely disappear.

Take care,

Zonker
