Indeed.

This is what I would do: have some separate css to style links
and leave out this font business.

a {

color: #f00;
background: #fff;
}

and also style visited (a:visited), hover (a:hover), and active
(a:active) while at it.

If you want this/all email link to be something special from
other links (I would not), you can id/class it/them.

There... I think I have made up a bit for the previous
"how's-yer-father" advice...
