Links do usually look like links when they're underlined, and that is a well-established convention. Another convention means that some sections of a document (like navigation menus) are exempt from this rule as most users know them to include links as well. Even though there are people (including Jared Spool [1]) basically arguing for non-underlined links in the content section as well, I do recommend to underline links and not only to use different colors or hover effects.
