What seems to be the case is that each website has its own rules
governing the color of followed hyperlinks. In some sites, the followed
link is different from the unfollowed, in others it's not. But then, if
you copy text from a web page into an e-mail, even though the followed
links had the same color in the web page as the unfollowed, in the
e-mail the unfollowed links will have a different color. (In my case,
the followed links are purple, the unfollowed are blue, and I want them
all to be purplse.) So the question is, is there any way to make the
links in the e-mail all be the same (followed) color, other than
manually clicking on all the links in the web page prior to copying the
web page text into the e-mail?


You can force your preferences.
Check: Ignore colors specified on web pages
(Internet Options, Accessibility -- in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-e,c)



And then another question: Is all this irrelevant from the point of
view of how the text appears to the recipient of the e-mail? Let's say
I've clicked on all the links on the web page prior to copying into the
e-mail, so that the links are all purple in the e-mail. But when
another person receives the e-mail, he hasn't clicked on any of those
links on HIS computer. So does that mean that when he looks at the
e-mail the links will all have the unfollowed color?


Yes. You can also change yours by clearing your History.
