Yes. The actual suggestion was:

Ok, I just tested this:

#bodyContent * a
{
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #000000;
}

#bodyContent:hover * a
{
    text-decoration: underline;
    color: #002BB8;
}

External links still show up a different colour with the arrow next to
them. It's a quick and dirty hack, but it does the job.
