You can also do something like...

<a href="http://mysite.com/index.cfm";><b><u>#name#</u></b></a>

It's really basic, but it works fine and the user gets the point.

According to the docs... all that happens by default with links is that the 
mouse turns to a hand, there's no hover, underline, etc. to let you know 
it's a link.  But you can use other tags to make it look like a link.  My 
undertanding is that the Flash Player supports the following tags (and 
*only* the following tags) when embedding HTML in textareas, the htmlText 
property, etc:

<a> <b> <br> <font> <img> <i> <li> <p> <textformat> <u>
