The underline convention is widely retained, so users actually can use the convention as a signal. The border is virtually universally removed by authors, so it's not a convention users can look for as a signal. > I did mean the majority of the browsers installed (as an install base) Of my tests on a few browsers, here is what I see: Browser Linked Image Border IE Yes Firefox Yes Opera No Chromium No Konqueror No Seamonkey Yes Chrome No Safari No Epiphany Yes So yes, on the majority of actual distinct browsers (and I count Chrome different from Chromium here) then the border is suppressed.
