Yes, I did see this...thanks so much for sending it along! It's funny, I
checked the archives and actually sent my message before this one appeared,
and for some strange reason my message didn't appear until about 6 hours
after I posted it.  

I also noticed that even wikipedia was having problems with this, and since
our site is pretty big, we decided to just hide the offsite icons from all
versions of IE. I noticed that in IE 7 on your site
(http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/nederdev/test-link-icon6.htm) the
last word which has the <ul> tags around it appears slightly lower than the
rest of the link text preceding it. Is this another IE bug? It doesn't
happen in Firefox. I'm wondering if using the span tag would solve this
problem?

Hi Allison,
(That was quite a year ago, when we talked about the B. News site. :-)  )
I didn't remark this question before, but probably you have seen the 
POOF! thread in the meantime:

    * POOF! start here
      <http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/85416>

    * and the updated workaround here
 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-link-iconENupdate.
htm>

Success and greetings!
francky

btw:
As you can see in the right column halfway down in the Dutch version 
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/nederdev/test-link-icon6.htm>,
IE is normally placing the icons somewhere in the vertical middle of the 
amount of lines which the link is taking...

- In Wikipedia is is going wrong in IE too, but mostly you don't see it 
because the links are only 1 or 2 words, and the probability of breaking 
in 2 lines is not so big then.
- Example of things going wrong in IE is also the small link column in:
