In particular, our good friend Internet Explorer doesn't support
them.

However, the "easy" way to change link formatting is to change
the value of $UrlLinkFmt:

    $UrlLinkFmt = 
      "<a class='urllink' href='\$LinkUrl' 
        rel='nofollow'>\$LinkText</a><img src='external-link.gif' alt='' />";
